Some og southern oz got rain...92% of nsw in drought..some of wa sa and vic

Mranwhile in Portland we got 60mm for the week...the balansa loves this weather.

Some antass black seeded clover i harvested last year...sown with wheat for grazing and harvest assistance..going gang busters...im not doing contract harvesting this year.

Wheat was sown 1st week of may...paddock was vertical tilled.

A new drain i put in at my lease block..much criticism was endured the way i do drain with land leveller...well having the last laugh again as its running sweet same as some new ones i did at my farm...no gps or and no laser level!!

Not a lot forecast for the next 10 days, depending where you live of course and temps into the low 30's next week, not great.

This dry weather certainly makes life easier.

Finished shearing in record time and then into silage with what seems to be shaping up as a clear run of weather.

If only every year was like this.

FFS - you softcock whinging whining pansies wouldn't know what had hit you or how to cope if you ever faced a REAL drought . . .
When the cactus start getting moisture stressed - then you can say it's a drought

Yes maybe, but if i went to farm in Australia i would expect extremes as it is what you get on a regular basis. Most of the time over here the climate is kind to Agriculture so when we get a drought it is more noticeable and we are not prepared and are growing the wrong crops for the extremes.

yes, we are used to dry periods & extremes of temperature & moisture, but CACTUS dying due to moisture stress is NOT normal

Well i suppose if the cactus are dying that is probably telling us something.

It's not dead, it's just pining for the Fjords....

Wheat dying due to the same reasons is not normal for here, I am unsure if we could even get a cactus to grow here, too wet/cold normally.
I am sure if we ever had the sort of drought you boys are getting the whole country would be in meltdown with I suspect civil unrest.
