That will be awkward in Western Australia with the Morris new holland and bourgault John Deere tie up
We're excited to announce a strategic alliance with CNH. This alliance expands the reach of Bourgault innovation, bringing our seeding technology to more farmers around the world while strengthening our ability to invest in innovation and agronomic research. Bourgault remains an independent company and brand. Learn more: bourgault.com/news/bourgault… #CNH #CaseIH #NewHolland #Agriculture #AgTech

Cheers @WA_Roads for the solution to another problem that doesn’t exist Now our farm needs 5 sets of extra signs to show my neighbours who we are when we pilot. Goes well with the 3-yearly, full day, very expensive ‘refresher’ scam @WAFarmers

Yes; for Australia it’s about $40 Billion a year in subsidies, just to wind farms alone! 😬

I'm running numbers on family trusts. If the trust owned by mum, dad, and 19-year-old daughter earns $180,000 a year and they distribute $60,000 to each the tax will be three times $9,000 = $27000. At 30% flat, it's $54,000. That's double - The only way out is to change distributions to wages, but they must be able to justify the wage. It's a shameful attack on business

Just think. If you'd had a private plane you might have been able to meet with WA farmers over live exports instead of using zoom

Please be aware of what you are supporting when you support some renewable projects. There is no framework for proper process in place.

The amount of DEF used annually in the USA is enough to fertilize 60% of the crops in Canada.
