"If you can"

I fully understand the predicament alot of people are in and included the disclaimer.

My apologies to anyone if the comment offended them.

Adversity shows up at the most inappropriate times.

I am done offering platitudes of hope but do wish everyone the most luck possible.

[Ache4Acres]

Thank you farma. I agree, I got all my fingers and toes crossed that the weather breaks for for those that need it and gives everyone a chance to get this in the bin.

I am still optimistic, and That’s not a bad thing.

Sometimes we all need a little luck and I think it will still come. Luck has always been close by for us. Just tonight putting the boys to bed, I was telling them various stories about all the luck I have had, from injury to business to love. (Well never lucky at craven or at the longbranch but maybe I was depending on the perspective). Luck is often just a matter of perspective. Never give up on luck and it won’t give up on you.

I always felt strongly about the adage that “we aren’t done until the neighbors are done”. Now it’s time to do as we say. Good luck everyone!

Let’s all get er done.

Mallee I would gladly trade you the 3/4 inch of rain that is still falling here and supposed to switch to snow this afternoon for some sun. We beat out a couple of tandem loads yesterday of frozen 30% 54 lb feed wheat before the rain. Now the wind is 80kph but the fluffy canola swathes seem to be staying put from being soaked first. Out fixing fence today in the rain with a toque getting drenched is highly overrated. Couldn’t get rain during the growing season here and now it won’t quit. Hotter in the summer and cooler in the fall too. It’ll work out to average weather I guess but only 2/3 of a crop and that number is dropping daily. Can’t wait till this crop year is done one way or another.

Do you have enough feed for your flock? Hay has been crazy money here but most guys are covered at least.

Good luck🍀

[malleefarmer]

Numbers have been reduced so will carry less stock over summer.

If summer rains occurs some feed weeds will come up.

Have hay from last year and of course will feed out expensive grain.

So Mallee, was it good management or just luck that you are farming fewer acres this year?

They say you have to be good to be lucky.
