Now I'm left wondering if that was autocorrect and you meant "toque and a beanie"
Not long ago I wouldn't have given it a thought but a new word was introduced to me.

The wheat I sowed first one week ago is up.
Unfortunately the forecast rain has almost disappeared so it will probably need an irrigation soon.

I think all your rain came down here, mate
We won't be needing much more for a week or two now, close on 50mm overnight/this morning
edit to add, 10mm was forecast ?

Yes, probably sow mixed pastures this week.So you still going ahead with the other 80ha ? Do you have enough water??? If so what's your password
I do have enough water, but was hoping to carry as much as I can over.
Hopefully the rain since Christmas will reduce water use. I drove past Tanners yesterday and it looks like they have already watered almost everything. Must be rich dairy farmers.

That’s exactly what’s fûcked it here. Thousands of people doing the precise opposite of what they were told and bûggering off all over the country on jollies. Gave Boris no choice!

Then again, it was cold as a witches' nork here this evening, so I broke my own rule and drove across my paddock to pick up fencing gear in the ute. The main reasons being: a cupholder and to use the electric electric fence winder-upper.

Bundaberg Rum will donate enough ethanol to make 500,000 bottles of hand sanitiser, destined for schools and frontline healthcare workers after stock was wiped out across the state amid coronavirus panic buying.
"We will be stepping up production to make sure that we're able to make this donation for the Queensland State Government" - Bundaberg Rum, Duncan Litter.

Well the UK lamb trade just collapsed. The price has roughly halved since last week. Cattle prices are well down too.
I wonder if the closure of all restaurants and fast food outlets is involved.....

Like Steel said. Entitled cùnts rushing there school holidays. Qld should have had enough brains to close the border the minute Vicyoria said it was closing schools.....Heard on PM tonight of the rush of grey nomads to cross the WA border before 1.30pm. Said one bloke ran out of petrol just short of the border at 1.29pm as they didnt fuel up for fear of missing the closure

It only happens about once in a blue moon. I really do hate crushing microbes for no reason other than laziness... especially when it's wet.OMG, it'll take 'till next year to recover
We had exactly 2 inches more than forecast, not that I'm gonna complain about it.
There is some serious pee taking by the buyers and slaughterhouses as well. Five it a few weeks for the dust to settle and we will find their true value.

Hopefully you still have processing capacity in 5 weeks time, that's the gamble. One processor here is paying £1.57/kg for M2 bull.
We were just discussing today, the larger freezing works are staying open, but staffing is the issue going forwards.
Their carpark certainly wasn't busting at the seams today.
Smaller processors have just shut the shop, but other essential businesses like fert coops are remaining open, what a clusterfuçk it's going to be.
Fertiliser is about as essential as florists
