Excerpt from Callum Downs
Commodity Newsletter from Australia:

"Australian Wheat Acreage We are expecting a large lift in wheat acreage this year, with production possibly hitting a record 27 million tonnes.

At a meeting in Adelaide last week, Dick Warburton, Chairman of Tandou Ltd, indicated that they would be growing irrigated wheat this year, not
cotton.

I have also heard that Cubby Station is going to move more acres to wheat at the expense of cotton.


I think at the margins we are going to see a lot of acres move to wheat from other crops where possible. So, we
should at least have a big acreage planted to wheat. It then just needs to rain to give us the production to match the acreage." UNQUOTE

I find it interesting that oats acreage is being reduced almost universally. What with it being a "free market" crop and you guys marketing geniuses I would have thought the opportunities for oats would be huge.

Haven't you managed to convince your friends in the beef section to move the cattle industry more in line with the NFU and cwb models grass?

What's taking so long?

Centrally priced/sold cattle is what you want isn't it? Have you proposed that to Randy, Cam, and the other guys who are trying to pull the cattle industry into the future?

What are your seeding intentions this year?
