This is also a good time to mention that we are moving to fortnightly chats here at #agchatoz - happy for your input as always but we are going to give it a go and see how it pans out.

My greatest wish was granted at the #NationalAgRally. I don’t agree with this lady (obviously) but she demonstrated more courage & commitment than @JulieCollinsMP, @AlboMP & @AnthonyChisholm And she also went home after I gave her a shoutout for her efforts over the microphone. 😉 #ausag #agchatoz

Why can't the sheep industry move to an eating quality grading system & ditch lamb/hogget/mutton terminology? Understanding QA/logistics challenges with unit size & volume, but surely it's solvable. Current tech doesn't seem to be there yet. #ausag #agchatoz

Many rural communities are interdependent, though that is being undermined by reduced populations. If Govts are serious about resilience then a long term commitment 2 rural health, education and infrastructure would be a good start. Many urban areas need to build independence 2/

In my mind there are 2 key parts to building resilience, there is independence and interdependence. Farmers have been and have needed to hone their independence over generations. Next phase is interdependence, for this to happen successfully it will take long term commitment 1/

*opens Twitter for the first time since June* Yep. Everyone is still angry out there. To be positive - thanks @RFDSQld for your help last week. Miss 7 had a nasty horse fall and compound fractures. @qldhealth - your nurses in Chinchilla are amazing but drastically understaffed

Cotton is a biodegradable fibre that will break down quickly, versus synthetics which are polluting waterways at alarming rates and never break down 🤔 amp.theguardian.com/environm…

How your clothes are poisoning our oceans and food supply

New studies show that alarming numbers of tiny fibers from synthetic clothing are making their way from your washing machine into aquatic animals

It's blistering hot in the NT, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it's snowing In northern NSW & southern Queensland it is normal for the roads to look like snow. Nobody has ever questioned if it is environmentally damaging as cotton industry is powerful abc.net.au/news/2022-09-17/r…

What appear to be soft, white piles of snow along the Stuart Highway are something else entirely, and locals are seriously concerned.

I’m considering putting concrete in our Bud Box. Good or bad idea?

You’re not looking at leaves on a tree… Every year huge flocks of budgies head to waterholes in the red centre to drink, feed and breed. The event is quite a sight/sound 🦜 ​ 📸 Charles Davis Photography last week near Alice Springs via @abclandline bit.ly/ABCMyPhoto – at Perth, Western Australia

A rarity to find black peat soil in the Esperance region, unfortunately only represents 0.8% of the paddock. Reminds me of the FAR trial site at Millicent @Pooley_Nick_FAR

Question. Who would be the best finance company to deal with to buy another property 2800 acres. Banks will lend me millions to buy machinery but not to expand my farming land. Any other young farmers had similar issues?
