Native vegetation on ground can finally see sunlight after decades of 100% coverage of woody weed for 3 decades: weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Mimosa...

Stage 1 (dozer) complete soon.
Stage 2 (sprays) begin in the new year.

Don't get mad. Just bide your time, then kill them all.

Was a rather busy week with my new little seed grading setup.

Oh and grain vac work in an old silo - for 5 hours after the facemask broke - not so wise. Mad lung infection, 36 hours sleep in 48.

It’s so very deeply encouraging to see the charity regularly reaching around 100,000 accounts, organically, every month.
Thank you, those who help, share, encourage, and support this vital work in rural Australia.
Especially at this time of year.
I am deeply grateful.

Twittter, Meta, Google, Apple...

Whole bunch of billionaire owned/controlled companies harvesting reams of data on individuals... our proclivities, preferences and prejudices.

Makes you wonder if those folks sharing material like this will get on some naughty lists by big tech?

What fresh hell shall tomorrow then bring, and what new ways for me to foul things up?

Anyway. Have a fence on on paddock at 10.5kv and other 5. More clean downs and fixups post harvest. New water troughs working. Things done.

If you are interested in the static image, you can find that here. I'm not sure how well this will display on bsky though. I'll find another way to share it if it doesn't work.

So for managing summer grass weeds in a sorghum crop, my agronomist has suggested the following steps:

1. Plant row spacing. Switch from 1m spacing to 50cm. 2.5kg/ha for 50k plants per ha

Bonus is it let's me do it with JD1890 planter (2nd rank locked up) and add 65kg starter Z. Give it some

It's is done....

Harvest 2024 is complete.

Enough wheat and linseed for nearly 4 million loaves of bread, and many million serves of hummus worth of chickpeas.

To bed.

So in the other place, I have an time-honoured custom. A video which encapsulates perfectly the spirit of harvest (played by Bane).

So time for your anual #harvest video tradition.

There's an awful lot of nonsense about ESG and Sustainably linked loans these days, and some finance propositions by commercial agribusiness lenders are farcical. #agsky

But this article is a sensible take. Not promising the world.

Calm.
Polite.
Open dialogue.
Communal solutions finding.
Flexible approach.
Adaptive planning.
Clear directions.
Even a few jokes?!

Not sure who this imposter manager is this #harvest24. Seems to be working though.

The rage monster within still lives and roars within but masked over this year!
