Joe Dales, I am not very techy, I have never been able to open, or play your videos. I can play the ones that Shaney posts. There must be some kind of movie playing software that I dont have to play your videos.

Thanks Joe, that really should be a must see for every
Western farmer. A real eye opener. A friend of mine
visited Brazil about 5 or 6 years ago and witnessed the
very same type of grain farming. One thing he noted
was the cheap input costs - if I recall diesel was 12
cents a litre and fertilizer, chemicals - a fraction of
what we pay. One negative he saw was the dismal
infrastructure available to get crops to market but I
suspect that is changing.

Hi Hobbyfarmer:
I am not sure why the embed code is not working for you..might be the browser. I use IExplorer.

Here is the link to the video on Youtube.

This video surprised me with the scale of the harvest at the one huge operation...
