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

Roy give us some perspective
looked at the map of nsw and it rivers
how far will the water at gunnedah have to go before it reaches the sea in south Australia although some will get used /evaporate before it gets there

even though I spent 3 months in nsw on a number of farms a week near gunnadah I did not realise how far north you are

Huge, most of NSW and the bottom end of Queensland. I’d guessed that the darling downs must feed into the darling, but had never really looked before, goes north of Roma, spent Christmas 2003 there. Making me feel old.

So have I, without even leaving the province

always feel disgusted that people can "do that", and also that they can leave it for someone else to clean up

This is on the ( gravel ) public road. Wheat stubble washed across from the paddock next to it, that had dryland cotton planted in it in October

f**k.... million dollar covercrop

I am sorry for your loss of income, just glad you're still with us

So, how long ago was it that I first posted about water running through my crops ?
Was it 3 weeks ago now ? Or longer ?
I know that the above Durum crop was green & in the milky dough stage when it started.

It’s not always dry & dusty here, regardless of what the UK perception may be
