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

[Farmer Roy]

I'm not sure which is worse tbh

absolutely NO contest . . .

give me wide open spaces & a stable society any day, rather than some overpopulated 3rd world lawless hell hole with people everywhere you turn

 

[Kidds]

Do you know of one then?

 

[Jim bean]

Cornwall.

Cornwall.

It's winter. It is neither lawless or over crowded. We are only seasonally lawless!

Still Autumn in Devon. Best weather anyone can remember .Cows still out and grass growing well. Glad to see you are keeping an eye on the thread.

With all the rain they probably won’t be needing that header for a while anyway.

Is that the same machine that has been making the rounds on social media? If so it is a brand new 50 series machine. Where was that one?

How are you guys?

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

54mm here. New Lucerne is loving it. Dryland bit in foreground . Normal year there would be virtually nothing there where pivot doesn't reach.

Only have to go 50kms and west of Strathmerton they didn't get a drop. Was over at Barham yesterday. Dust, flies, people irrigating.....Come home to mud, full drains and hay in desperate need of cutting....More predicted next Thursday.

my farm is on the Breeza Plain, downstream from here

Oh well, apart from being down a million bucks or so, we are good.
Gotta love a good flood, they are landmark events through my whole life & earliest memories

That’s no good sorry to hear.
We had between 55 and 70 mm
I found a few shot grains in some dryland wheat, so we will get some downgraded.
I just heard someone near here is actually harvesting Canola today only two days after the rain so we will try tomorrow.

Was hoping at least you and your house are safe after watching all the news from there today
