Houston ,We Have A Problem

[malleefarmer]

Just a little of what I do.

Catastrophic conditions forecast sun and such a day let’s say Thursday

Well Tuesday and wed I will shift stock to bare paddocks or those with stuff all feed.

Harvest will not start on those days regardless of morning temps even if it’s cool

Combine and haul out bin etc augers will be shifted to bare areas

Fire fighting equipment hooked up and ready to go during the day.

Stay at home if possible.

Example other night was 43 at 4 o’clock in afternoon, wife didn’t want to cook dinner. We waited went out when change came through temps dropped 15 c in about a hour.

Is climate changing who knows remember seemingly weeks on end of 38c to 42 when growing up no aircon either.

Old timers gotta love em, it’s summer it’s Australia harden the foook up

Mallee that's adapting, NO amount of TAX will put out your fires, warm India, prevent the polar vortex, restart the SUN spots!

It’s almost as if, when the treehuggers insist on letting record levels of fuel build up instead of letting people harvest it and make use of the wood, you get more and bigger fires. And then throw in all the arson. Same story in California, Ontario, just about everywhere. Who woulda thunk it?

Go dig up copies of the Sydney paper from the 1800s and you can find articles about multi year huge wildfires only to have floods a few yrs later. There are temps in the 50s from that time period as well.

Nothing to see here. It's normal for this era.

The environmentalists see no issue with a scorched earth policy to promote the agenda. Is this a legit site Mallee?

Adapting is a good call. Generally adapting involves more regenerative methods that boost the resilience of the ecosystem.

Coincidentally that would be what many lefties in Ag consider to be the more environmentally helpful and suitable response to climate change. Be it naturally occurring or anthropogenically affected is up to the individual.

Either way it won’t hurt to start shifting the paradigm towards management techniques that provide greater adaptability for our land. Better to start now than wait for things to get worse.

A little bit of research into the rainfall in the NSW and Victoria areas could help give some foresight into what they’re currently dealing with. There isn’t water there. Or anything growing. More research into the oil content, heat and general structure of these bushfires will also help understand them.

Here’s a warning for the town last night that evacuated onto the lake. The fact the heat will kill you before the flames even reach you is a telling part about how hot these fires are burning.

All got was arsonist stuff. Charge em with attempted murder

Hot off the press the Green Party are calling for ROyal Commission into bush fires.

My opinion ain’t worth jak shit but reckon this could backfire in a spectacular way.

Another contentious point many hilly areas cleared for grazing , you know 100 120 years ago out forefathers cleared for ag and cattle and sheep grazing evil people.


Last 20 yrs huge tracts bought and revegitated well thee now all bare land @gain in some areas.

My wife was bought up in hills area went to her old house and here comment was shitz this would last 5 minutes in a fire lots bare areas when she was there, she lived through 83 Ash Wednesday fires.

Many Graziers are replanting green corridors but not huge areas trying to reforest.
Sometimes saving things actually has reverse affect in hindsight.
