Farmer Roy's Random Thoughts - I never said it was easy.

If ever there was an advert for living roots in the soil, here it is...

Somewhat exceptional circumstances of course and not a weed to be encouraged, but I reckon that picture tells a fair tale!

Sun,water,bar,beer.

And not a cow or sheep in sight.

Whilst I'm not quite ready to take on @Yale 's big cheese market, I have done a little RnD this week.

Becoming ever more conscious of the need to get off my arse and add value to more of what we produce.

Ooh yer! What you aiming for?

Well, i had hoped to turn out something that would pass as a 'Onesiedale Brie'
But it's looking a bit dry for that at the moment.
Perhaps it'll just be 'Onesiedale'

Apparently so! Gotta watch these Australians you know! Bit worried I brought one back with me...

Errr. you're eyes are shut?

 

[Farmer Roy]

Too much sun ?

Or just savouring the beer?

 

[Kiwi Pete]

Can someone please send "too much sun" for a week?

I've had enough grey, gloomy days for a while.

How much do you want? I can spare 3 weeks worth in exchange for 50mm

Starting salvage mode today ? If I dont cut now there will be nothing left. Cropping boys have a week to wake up before it's too late. Only problem at moment is its freezing cold at night. Not hay making weather in the slightest. Saw some good irrigated oats dropped around Robinvale on the way up north. On our way back 12 days later they were still lying there......

Didnt you hear?

It's been raining on the east coast- Sydney & Newcastle.
Over 100 mm
The "Big dry" will be over now, no worries
Be complaining about the rain soon

Living the dream!

My days still feel like that, almost every day - the old man has gone, but I still don't accept that "I am the old man" ?

It’s only when you start bending and breaking things excessively you maybe have to accept the title of ‘old fella’.
