Visiting a farm to learn about farm techology and getting a lesson in operating a handgun. Getting annoyed my coke was taken by waitress at a diner before I'd finished..... she brought me back a full one! Ribs. Wings.

FIRST REACTION: Australian Farmers hear urea price to drop and rain forecast.

North West cloudband followed by a trough stuck for 3-4days overhead? What a time to be alive! 12mm and counting!

It would be a lot worse without us @JarrodAmery

Worst thing about farming is you only get 30-40 iterations. If you are lucky.

Asking @claudeai about the possibility of an IOD - El nino combination produced a fascinating response.

Drop it like it's hot. Indian Ocean Dipole. 👀

Hey @Eladyerg is it uncommon/common to have a blocking High in the middle of the Southern Ocean, directing cold fronts NORTH into southern Australia? Feels unusual! Ps. Noticed your handle has 'dyer' in it. #legend

Are one way overseas flights really cheap?

What’s people’s thoughts & experience of using #AI for #agriculture Seems to me it needs “lots of teaching” - especially when it comes to ag machines. So the question arises: “who’s teaching who” 🤔

Actually mad I wasn't shown this in Year 11 maths.

Or tractor or header or sprayer or.....

How easy is farming sometimes.

Coalition should run at the next election on a constitutional amendment barring the Commonwealth & the States from imposing any form of death duties, death taxes, or estate taxes or imposts. Make Labor & the Greens oppose families esp migrant families keeping their wealth.

I’ve always said this, Australian states are not real states, they are city states in disguise. Just a few major cities, and vast hinterlands that lack autonomy because they’re outvoted by the cities and extracted from to feed those cities. This leads to lazy policy in the cities because they can rely on the regions subsiding them (mineral royalties for example) so they don’t need to try to develop real city state economies like Singapore, they just aren’t incentivised to explore a niche. It’s also bad for the regions because they operate in legislative environments set up specifically to work for the cities. You could unlock so much investment and efficiency in Australia just by letting the two sides of this equation do what they do best, getting them out of each others way.

We are coming to the end of a most remarkable autumn. We have had 90-180 mm since 1/3/26. Temps have been mild as well with negligible frost. Canola sown 30/4 at 3 leaf in May! Outstanding start to season.

Vote yes at the referendum.

Attempted to write a Steam Engine hype at the era of Industrial Revolution as if it was the age of AI — The steam engine breakthrough is insane right now. Watt’s separate condenser new GRPO optimization just dropped the 405 hp-class engine. We went from 7 hp → 70 hp → 405 hp in basically three years. One machine now does the work of 50 men or water wheels — nonstop, rain or shine, anywhere. Textile mills, ironworks, everything scaling 5-10x overnight. Productivity exploding. This isn’t incremental. It’s automating physical labor at massive scale. Jobs shifting forever. Society about to look unrecognizable. The Industrial Revolution isn’t coming. It’s here and accelerating faster than anyone predicted. Terrified. Excited. Both. What a time to be alive. 🚂💨

Customs data shows that the average import price for Urea during March was A$724.
