Rubber tyre Rollers. Is anyone in the mallee using them on lentils etc? Do they do a good enough job for the header? We’ve only ever used steel but the tyre ones are a lot cheaper.

Does anyone know the name of this connection or where I might purchase an extension lead from in Aus? Off our DigiStar scales on our chaser bin.

One of the things I struggle with in farming is finding a balance between work & family. I don't think I'm alone. This might be the single most important thing in your life to get right - & one of the hardest. How do you manage your work-life balance? thelifeofafarmer.com/2023/04…

The Struggle to Find A Work-Life Balance - A Year in the Life of a Farmer

Finding a work-life balance might be the single most important thing in your life to get right. It’s also one of the hardest things any of us will ever do.

Hey @GrainCorp, how about lifting your moisture tolerance from 12.5% to 13.5% this year in cereals to help your clients out. Your losing a lot of tons to other sites and it’s costing producers a lot in timeliness. 😡

King bale oats really enjoying the wet finish. Same spot as the stock and land photo a month ago!

Hats off to you full time truckies. I bounced down to Melbourne and back today in our truck and I feel like I have my sea legs and slipped a disc!

Hay end users, I have a paddock of vetch/oats. Should I knock out the oats and cut pure vetch or bale a vetch/oats mix. One option will sacrifice bulk, the other purity & quality. Looking for feedback on marketability from a newbie to the hay game.

MyJohnDeere and Agrian prescription gurus, any idea what this error means? Sometimes comes up, usually after spending an hour fine tuning a prescription. Can’t save or rectify when this happens.

Is there anyone around that fixes these Agtron blockage sensors once they start giving phantom readings?

If you have this type of airseeder, look after your tires. There are no new ones in Australia, and won’t be for months. 😩

I did not know jam and cheese sandwiches were a thing until last nights Bluey episode. I can’t believe what I’ve been missing.

I’m keen to hear from people who have gone down the foreign labour or ‘sponsorship’ avenue for farm staff. Good points, bad points, did you go through an agency?

I’m looking for a trailing prickle chain to go behind a 40ft cultivator. Must be one sitting under a tree somewhere. VIC, SA or southern NSW.

Bateman lupins the top performer in the trial on our property again this year. 200kg/ha better than Coyote and other future breeder lines. In other news, I still have some Bateman seed left for sale. DM if interested.

An earthquake felt through the mallee early this morning. The sound was loud enough to wake us up and shook the shit out of the house.

Is there any apps available for calculating dry matter intake for livestock based off feed test results?

For Sale: E-Kay crop dividers. Off a Goldacres Crop Cruiser Evo (bracket to boot straight on) but originally designed for a 30 series JD. Very little use. DM if interested. $3K G

Interested to hear from people stock containing ewes (not feed lotting lambs). Does joining rams with ewes in containment effect lambing %? Looking at adopting more ewe containing to help our fragile mallee soil in these dryer years.

My wife is not as impressed as I, but if you type “shit carters hat” into a google search, my profile picture appears. Feel kind of famous.
