Read what Kevin Hursch has to say about adhoc.payments..
Funny though dairy will be OK...
....and the 40 bucks an acre for Irrigation districts in this province will do just fine.....
The good news is the WCWGA made some noise about the dairy payment...
Sadly that will keep the politicians twiddling their thumbs...

You can either stick your head in the sand, most likely conclusion, or realize we need to farm way cheaper to compete in the future against all the countries that formerly imported but are now exporting. And you wonder why we keep losing markets - its not all political, see the entitlement comment.

As ive said before we live in driest state dreist continent and frsotiest as well.
A area in mid north of our state crops probably not at crucial stage just yet but grain head could be in the boot. Anyway 2 nights ago they had minus 5c only for about 30 min utes but was a frost for about 6 hours in total.
Only insurance is have good hay gear and knock her down if you think its frosted.
Some guys in these areas who know and understand frost often start cutting within 24 hours of a frost event.
ps my wife was actually in the "area" of the guys photo about 40 kms away she said thousands of acxres just nothing as far as eye could see and were it was green, crops about 12 inches high with a pissy little head

Inflation is an ugly dragon that needs slaying sometimes, reset time.

We have a guy on here who farms on the other side of the globe, we should be asking him what a brand new combine sells for in Oz, cash no trade. What is a tonne of Phos or Urea worth? How much is a liter of gas and diesel? What's a sixty foot drill worth and a 500 HP tractor.
Their domestic grain prices shamed ours last year.
Is everything relative? ..... prices, yeild, costs?

combines only know retail 900 to 1.2 mill
diesel 1.49 a litre gas about 1.42
urea low $500s
MAP/DAP $540 i think
60 ft drill with air cart no idea really but suggest high 400s even mid 500s
Wheat $296 Feed Barley $245 export prices subtract $30 for on farm.
Domestic suggest wheat similar but feed barley maybe $10 higher
If drought worsens prices will inch higher as world prices lower, if worl prices lift our prices may reach lofty highs of last year who knows.
But far out killing people keeping stock alive at current hay and grain prices.
will get son to check new machinery prices

Urea seems a bit higher than here right now
Phos seems a good chunck lower here right now.
You're diesel and gas prices are very high compared to here.
My harvest fill for diesel was about 83.4 cents a liter and gas is a bit under a buck....both bulk and delivered.
Combine seems very high.....to me retail means nothing....just "shock" value!

I dont shop new means im deemed a "lesser" farmer perhaps
3 yr old combines sprayers in particular lose value ultra quick
Think combines here have a 15% import duty to protect australian manufacturers which there are none and havent been for say 20 yrs thyeve forgotten to remove the tax
