Every word of this.
Every word of this.
This is the problem we have in a global system of entrenched government market intervention.
Farmers terms of trade are now disastrous, with fuel and fertiliser at record highs, yet grain prices unmoved.
As long as governments keep subsidising and tarriff protecting their markets, supply will keep rising and prices will stay below the cost of production.
This leaves unsubsidised Australian producers in a no-win situation. Most Au grain farmers will be locking in a loss for next year's budget, based on current input and output pricing.
Meanwhile, our government is trying to bludgeon us into a "Free Trade Agreement" with the EU.
There is NOTHING free about trade with the EU. They are among the worst offenders in corrupting the free market. Who are you trying to kid?
It's a tough call planting the next crop for a projected loss I can tell you.

While you’re on the header or the chaserbin or the truck have a listen to two @WAFarmers volunteer advocates discuss the groups successes and reason why you should probably join one yourself and get involved. @Mistadamage @mdfowler100 podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/on-…

Update on the drain cleaning, Subsurface Water Management had their own machine that had not yet been used.
Ran the jet up about 400 meters of the pipe and it’s back to full flow. About 120 litres per minute and hasn’t slowed down in past 24 hours. Thanks Brad and Rob from SWM.

Learning the hard way of how close to trees you can place slotted pipe. Flow dropped down and paddock upslope got wet again. West Aus tree species very good at seeking out water supply.

Subsurface Water Management have this machine. Had them here 3 years ago after canola roots plugged a line.

Early flowering this year has meant one extra fungicide here. Some went for two when one is normal. Temptation with two sprays is to go early but one well timed still better than one too early followed by one too late

All diseases in wet seasons. A half rate with no disease will still control diseases for 4-6 weeks, but if disease is present, a full rate may still only give 2-3 weeks protection. 2 weeks 2 early is better than 2 days 2 late.

Plenty of work recently with decent yield gains even with lower sclero pressure with the newer fungicides (Aviator, Miravis ect) which give crops protection from infection, compared to likes of Prosaro which is more of a cure. By the time you notice sclero it’s generally too late

There have been a few farmer trials within our local spray group. Aviator and Mararvis star seem to be the stand outs

The crop in this photo ended up just under 1t/Ha. I certainly didn't pick it x.com/ipaddockapps/s…
Might be an "interesting" harvest...
Canola is looking decidedly lazy already

Turns out 150mm in June is worse than none in our environment. Sclerotinia absolutely smashed us this year. I was blissfully ignorant of it as a threat previously.
Working out how to manage it in future is my therapy for the disappointment of #Harvest26
