Nobody is particularly interested but will post anyway.
Were done for another year.
1600 ha wheat 280 ha canola and 290 ha oats for hay and grain. And 180 ha rye for feed for sheep.
All sown in marginally dry conditions despite good subsoil moisture from wet harvest, exact opposite of you guys where theres mud theres money but in canada its the reverse.
Quite a few guys sowed early into dry soil and crops havent germinated that well wereas i held off and waited hence finishing now rather than end of may but think most of mine will germinate.
Mice are causing grief in australia though big time.
If anyone is wondering im considered a average to slightly above average operator in terms of acreage.
A few around here put in 12 to 20 thousand acres, ive got no ambition to do that extra stress,extra labour and for what a early grave.......plenty also put 1000 to 2000 acres have a wife working and have a great easy no stress life.
West australia is all sown but on a knife edge but good rain expected this week. Most of other cropping areas done or close to it in average conditions.
Theres my wrap up and all the best for whatever dual marketing or fully deregulated system you guys come up with, but hey dont let the politicans run the show get off your butts and tell how it should be or will have some half cocked system that may not make either side of the debate happy.
And despite whatever bullshit you read over there when the single desk bit the dust sure it was 65% in favour 35% wanted single desk,do the same survey now 95% in favour 5% want the old system back and you can bet your right and left knacker on that.
Thanks for your time
