Do they ever need an excuse?? Farm commodity prices good here across all industries. Tick. Bumper season for a change. Tick. Let's put the price up and blame it on rona. Tick.

not sure if id be buying a now buildings shed. I know of one that’s been on the ground since Valentine’s Day still not put up.

also the driest year I’ve seen in the 18 years living is this part of south Australia.

wouldn't buy a one either. Very very fussy with sheds. Prefer to build my own anyway.
That's a bugger about you being dry. It was wet here june/july. And only average since. However, things look good over here.

we had a wet June July but only 20 mm since. Very late season here. Everything was almost dead before the 20 mm 2 weeks ago. Desperate for another now.

Would that be a common mower with u? Over here iv never seen a new holland trailed its all jd, krone and kv
Yea there are few New Hollands around. Over here new holland has a good name for all their hay gear. A lot of blokes have the MF mowers and really like them. We had a Kuhn and I really like them but the dealer is pretty useless.

Capeweed is a bìtçh this year isnt it :rolleyes: You must be reasonably close to me???
Tiss a bitch thankfully it was short for the most part so it didn't get cut but we need to get a good kill in autumn lack of water has meant a lot of this country is first time sown under us. We are close, that block is about 10kms south of you.

Well here it is the worst harvest I can remember in 43 years of being involved. If it wasn't for other business interests we would be living off the fumes.
