Looking for advice from the bike gurus. 13 going on 14yr olf youngster has outgrown his older CRF110F. Natural progression is probably CRF125FB big wheel, but what are the thoughts on a XR150L? General farm mustering and trail riding. He's not a racer by any means. Thoughts?

Here is the @WAFarmersGrains letter to the editor of the @australian regarding Ros Thomas’ article on paraquat. We have asked for the opportunity to respond in this weekend’s paper with our own op-ed on this important issue. @DavidPocock

Below average winter rainfall likely The Bureau have released their long range rainfall summary for AU, and for the South West Land Division its not painting a great picture. After some solid starting rains for much of the region post TC Narelle and other rounds of thunderstorm activity, May has not delivered much if at all, and the next 3 months we are looking at a 60% to 80% chance that rainfall is likely to be below average for south-western AU. The dry signal over the three‑month period is heavily driven by stronger probabilities of below‑average rainfall emerging later in the season more so than earlier in the winter season. This is evident when analysing the monthly chance of above median for June and July, which is signally generally average rainfall for the month. Over south-west, this rainfall forecast from the Bureau's ACCESS-S model is generally consistent with forecasts from most international models, which also show drier than average rainfall. However, the extent of the dry signal is generally larger in other models. What are your thoughts on these long range forecasts and how might it affect you?

Mice have beaten us here. Harvest fire left 4 ton of sterile wheat on the ground. Had 3kg ZP50 and I think we’re going to try plow the burnt grain in, hopefully killing lots of mice at the same time and reseed. Should be 3 leaf barley

Bit unpleasant in the hay shed at the moment. The baits do work though, and its interesting that they still hunt them out, even when there's free grain around

Burnt and sown to canola. 3 days later footage taken. Think the mice have a taste for canola seeds… 1kg of 25gai ain’t going to cut it here. Hoping it’s not a re seed...@APVMA @MouseAlert

This is a paddock that we burnt 2 weeks ago. All the little mounds of dirt in the first picture are mouse holes. ZP50 permits please @APVMA

The mouse population in parts of wa is out of hand @APVMA seems to not have an interest in doing anything about an emergency permit for us. All knowing full well that 25 g active mouse bait is not effective. The numbers we have are the worst I’ve seen.

The AgCAREERSTART team is calling on farmers to sign-up to its popular gap-year program. “If you can provide a paid, safe learning environment for the next generation, please reach out to the team,” NFF President Hamish McIntyre said. Dozens of eager participants have been shortlisted and are ready to begin on‑farm roles. @AgCAREERSTART More info: buff.ly/bHisiyv

My thoughts on the lessons & impacts from the recent action by @CSBPfertilisers and @summitfertz to declare force majeure on supply contracts.

My video piece for tonight's @abcnews in which I suggest that childcare and kinder be nationalised, and made free. That is, free education should be extended to kids under 5. youtube.com/watch?v=harEUDTv…

Anyone wrecking an 1830 bar? Ideally wide press wheels on 12.5” spacing. Chasing a 6 wheel press wheel gang

Possibly the definition of April Fools. A chilly morning and seeding into moisture in April is a bit weird.

.@DPIRDbroadacre researchers hope their #EasyDiesel Calculator can support farmers with understanding the financial impact of deep ripping based on current diesel prices: soilswest.org.au/easydiesel-… @wayneparker13 @BindiIsbister @GRDCWest #soilnews #soilscience #soilresearch

If you were wondering why directing diesel to regional Australia is in the national interest: All the operations behind the astounding productivity growth in ag - are the things that have stopped with the parked up tractors right now.
