Organic vs. conventional farming, which builds soil better? A new study of 2,900 real farms found NO difference in soil organic matter. Why? Because the label doesn't matter — plant biomass inputs, nitrogen, rotation & tillage do. Focus on dominant drivers. csanr.wsu.edu/what-actually-…

2026 Kick off the season with a Diesel and fert shortage, stupid input prices then an emu pig and mice plague to thin the crop right out, dry 6 weeks so all the early crops run up now we're flooding, wild first year for us cropping again 😅👌

Was i the only one on twitter to drive a Luv as there first go driving. This weapon was the main ute on the farm when I was a kid.

Is this the solution to all our CAPEWEED problems? Broadstrike PRE for 100% CW control! If interested for more come to UWA to see herbicide action vs crop & pasture weeds. [Yellow Serradella seeds collected with the CW]

fuel filler mod we fitted to Miller nitro hated the idea of climbing ladder twice to fill the sprayer daily, often at night. So we had some fittings added to the fuel tank when it was built. We fitted it all up ourselves for under $400 It’s quick, easy, and much safer

Very lucky to do ok in rain lotto this week.

Hey WA, the countdown is on for Newdegate Demo Day! We’re bringing our SwarmBots and teaming up with our awesome SwarmConnect partner @bossagriculture to showcase the latest in autonomous farming technology. Discover how #IntegratedAutonomy is revolutionizing farm efficiency and precision across real-world operations. If agtech innovation is your focus, this live demo is a must-attend. See how SwarmFarm Robotics is helping growers increase productivity while cutting down on inputs. Mark your calendar and get ready to experience the #FutureOfFarming at Newdegate Demo Day! #SwarmFarmRobotics #SwarmConnect #NewdegateDemoDay #AgTech #RegionalWA

I put out a lot of charts and tables, but this is the most important one for the next few weeks.

Finally wrapped up seeding today, bit of a fight at the end but got there. Conditions you dream about all seeding. Quick croppy everything looks silly good 🌾 good patch of vetch, denison on vetch stubble and beast barley 👌

Precision Ag min till pig what's next they'll tow a presswheel or have autosteer and jump on the Tramlines

Yesterdays new Heifers calf. X names are the best Name Jusak Lady XOXOXO Nickname -Hugs n Kisses. We shortened it to HnK

Mineral nitrogen 0-10cm after various vetch management strategies in 2025. Improving utilisation of ALL legume N through plant numbers creates 🔼 profit. Plenty of work to do, across many legumes/pulses. Paddock around it was grazed after setting seed (unharvested) @GRDCWest

I know its not the radar tower that causes this. But sometimes it feels personal. 12.5mm 20k north and south of me..

Plowing. Not fun any more

Well I certainly got this week wrong... so much for May /June being the quiet time for wool sales. Always happy to be wrong when market heads further north. Business came rolling in last weekend and combined with low volume and despite a reasonably strong AUD, the market went for another nice run. It was right across all types of wool, merino, XB. Long or short. No sales in WA this week (normal this time of year) so we watch and see what the cowboys over east do 😉. Rain forecasts for the next few days are also looking good for the mighty west 🤞🤞 There's a group heading to China next week to get a good taste of how actually committed our number 1 customer is to merino. As a 30 year veteran of visiting, watching and experiencing China's rise.. get ready to be inspired!

Tax.. When I was younger I had it explained to me we pay tax for, military,emergency services, health, roads, education and retirement. Given im now paying for 5/6 directly myself. Can I start my own militia and keep the last of my tax.

Can we blame the mice...

Oh fck
