Well thanks for not much Albo & team.
Yesterday I could pay $3.29 for diesel on farm if it was available.
Then I could claim 52.6 cents per litre road tax back because it’s not going to be used on road effectively making it $2.74 per litre.

But by April 1st diesel will be $3.49 as it’s been increasing 10 cents per litre for the past 16 days.
Halving the fuel excise by 26.3 cents now makes it $3.227.
I can now claim a further 26.3 cents so now we only pay $2.964. This cut only helps those that can’t claim the excise.

Ah the joy of farming grey calcareous soils that Conical Snails thrive on. 🤬

After much discussion the second fungicide is going on with a bit of copper. Tomahawk first on the list with heads just emerging.

Finally the Canola has enough moisture & nitrogen to make a move. A lot later than normal though. 🤞

There’s nothing like the adrenaline rush of direct heading Canola. #slowday

I’ve tried to keep an open mind & I’ve taken every opportunity to discuss the proposed introduction of the Voice with FNP. History shows us this hasn’t been handled well or been successful in its various guises. It just seems to open ended to receive a Yes vote this time around.

Oh Deere, you can’t be serious. Whoever the engineer was that designed this fence line nozzle clearly didn’t have fence lines, trees or power poles in mind.

Problem solved, swapped brackets to opposite ends & fitted upside down. All safely out of harms way now.

Eyre Peninsula desperately needs better weather & radar coverage.
The benefits to Agriculture, Fishing & Emergency services would be invaluable. This map shows that a large area of our agricultural & fishing industry is being neglected compared to the rest of Australia.

Finally yesterday we got a start to harvest, moisture still a bit over so hopefully today with the sun out we can get a bit done.
