Any one out there road-training their seeding tender? This is our current setup, looking to add 5,000L of extra flexiN to the truck to round out box fills. Obvious problems would be getting the truck bogged more often. Other than having 2 trucks just wondering what others do.

@PBoutsalis does Overwatch damage to ryegrass make it easier or harder to kill with Clethodim?

After advice on which brands of coulters to use on a 10inch DBS, abrasive soils with stone. Reasonable investment on genuine Ausplow assemblies but interested to hear from anyone running other brands, K Lines etc Thanks

The two Bondi shooters weren’t members of a hate group and they didn’t participate in hate speech in public or online. They were however on a terrorist watch list and out intelligence agencies failed to watch them. Rather than push 200 pages of new laws which remove freedoms from all Australians, one simple law would prevent an attack like this from occurring again, DON’T LET PEOPLE ON A TERRORIST WATCH LIST TO HAVE A GUN LICENCE AND OWN GUNS IF ASIO and the AFP can’t stop a person on a terrorist watch list from owning guns then they won’t be able to stop a person on a hate group list from owning one either. The responsibility should be on them not on us! Simple

Being overly generous to @AlboMP Government there George! Nothing complacent about it. National federal funding for Australia's Rabbit Biocontrol Pipeline Strategy ceased in 2022! Its not complacency when its intentional...

3rd try at lentils better than the previous attempts. However with lentil prices where they are I won’t try again next year. Thunder south of blue line are a huge improvement on bolt. Peas will continue to be our legume, better agronomics and harvestability

The perverse penalty for crop residue (which improve soil C) is a show-stopper failure in emissions accounting for agriculture. Primary school science tells us that the C in plants came from the air, yet when a portion returns to the air it is counted as emissions. Total rubbish

The WA Firearms Portal is supposed to make things easier. Instead, it's locking people out across the state. • Error messages • Weeks of waiting • Manual processing behind a fake digital front I looked into the source code — it’s not even automated. Just another layer of red tape dressed up as “progress.” People are trying to follow the law, and the system is making it impossible. Is it going to work this year? Or is this just another case of the government failing the bush? #WAFirearms #FirearmsPortal #DigitalFail #RuralWA #WAPolitics #FirearmLicensing #AccountabilityMatters #SystemBroken #FixItNow

WE’RE STUFFED The Economist Magazine has just published this chart showing that Australia has the most bloated government bureaucracy in the world - and also the fastest growing (except for Argentina pre-Melei). The government bureaucracy in Australia has grown so large and so politically powerful, that it continues to enrich itself and increase its power with no end in sight. Any discussion of an Australian D.O.G.E is met with such political hostility (lead by the state media; the ABC) , that politicians are now too frightened to even discuss that the bureaucracy needs to be wound back even by the slightest amount. And the Labor Party have gerrymandered the Australian Senate by employing tens of thousands of additional left-voting Canberra based bureaucrats, resulting in the ACT permanently electing two Senators from the left, making it near impossible for the non-left side of Australian politics to ever have the balance of power in the Senate. And going forward, as the number of Australians creating wealth in the private sector continued to decline - it’s just a matter of time until the bureaucrats run out of other people’s money to reward themselves with. It’s like when a parasite attaches itself to a host, and bleeds the host dry, until there is nothing left to feed on, and then they both die. economist.com/graphic-detail…

Bourgault owners… really battling to get a canola rate under 2kg/ha. Got the small seed bin with double flighted metering auger, auger sleeve seems in perfect shape. More thinking it’s hydraulic related. Hydraulic valve says it’s running just below 20% flow. Any common issues? – at Western Australia, Australia

Hey guys, what are people's opinions on record keeping software/apps? We were using production wise, and that is being canned at the end of the month. What is the best?
