I was a believer of giving the cattle a lick of molasses. It encouraged them to eat dry grass if that was only available in the dry season. Certainly made life a lot easier.

Didn't think they would,but should. When an ex boss of mine leased his broad acre farm out he bought a chicken farm. How it worked was say 30 farms contracted to the supplier with each grower having equal input. The deal was it was driven by standards so over a period of time the bottom four producers were vunerable to losing contracts to new sheds but the amount of growers stayed the same.

Yes buyers wander thru and make offers. Quite often swaps will happen as well. There was a small cost on entry then the fee to transfer ownership and transport documents. Never saw any scales so you need a good eye for weights.

Case by case as always. Thought McAdam was stiff. A player with experience would of seen that coming and knocked the ball on rather than taking hold of it. Bet the kid from GWS thinks different next time.

Do you have a union of growers in Betagrow to help control the amount of contracts and prices?

On my way to Khon Kaen yesterday i passed the Nong Rua cattle market.(50 km's to KK) Didn't have time to call in but it was busy driving by. By eye must of been 500 cattle there.

I agree Will. It mostly arises from a players lack of AWARENESS. Evasion and bracing for contact are a skills being lost to the game. I always thought in the right circumstances is was better on my body to bump rather than tackle. The arm is tucked in to support the shoulder in a bump where as you become more prone to arm,shoulder,hand injuries with a tackle. It's the little things that evolve into bigger issues,take skin tight jumpers as an example. Nothing to grab hold off anymore so it's a rugby tackle at the hips(which you lead with your head) or grab an arm.It all leads to more concussions than a well executed bump. If anyone wants to see the bump at its best go back and watch the bump on Liam Shiels in Roos v Wce game,

Thanks for doing the write up Will. Good week of footy. You nearly got us ,thought Shuey turned the game when going to half back. Bit of upside from both sides to look forward to. Demons,Port,Swans and Pies looking well oiled after round one. Rip is your fantasy working? I can only see my score for the comp.

Hi KS The soya beans planted around here are done with rice seeders on 10 inch spacings.they usually come with a couple of sets of internal plates for different seeds. All the land being utilized is rice fields and irrigated to get germination of seed. Not sure what price they will get but most years it is up around 16-18 baht/kilo. Harvesting once bundled is then put through a rice thresher with different screens fitted for sizing. The thunderstorms are teasing us here,last two days i have seen the rain get to the mountain ranges 800 metres away then slide on by. Still it is pretty common this time of year for the area if a normal to average season. Still a bit of sugar around,i would say most of what's left is for seed setts to be cut and planted next month. A neighbour here has been stocking up his cow herd,must be taking advantage of the lower prices at the moment,his brother has the local beef butcher shop in the village so minimal risk to increase the numbers. I saw on Aussie news prices were down 40% this year but don't expect a cheap steak on the plate.

Would they?

Well you can thank your lucky stars i'm not in charge.

Till now they have managed to keep it at the same age for nearly ninety years. I want my human right to retire at 65 or is that not a human right.

Tinyzone and fmovies is doing the same at moment to me. Bmovies is working.

That's what governments keep telling us so it must be true. I'm sure they could find funds from elsewhere if they really wanted to.

Hi KS Haven't talked to anyone about the huge difference in sugar prices yet. Still waiting for rain here to get seeding,the grass is back to a foot high and starting to set seed so need rain soon. Called into a couple of smaller farm shops to get some glyphosate to spray the fence lines,both only had one litre bottles in stock at 250 and 300 baht a bottle so left it. My Nylex rain gauge is 19 years old but now getting harder to read,will get another year out of it then upgrade. Had to go to the Amphur the other day and noticed a lot of corn and soya beans planted. More soya beans than i've seen in years,sunn hemp is still not catching on around here. Not sure if it's seed supply or price. Could also be the fact that the beans will most likely be harvested by hand and thresher whereas the sunn hemp would require a harvester. That side of the district suffers badly from flooding in the wet years like last so taking advantage of the sub soil moisture and working out well for them.

$32 million for a drone.

It's a closed thread mate,don't even bother.

Try Zema and get plenty of sunshine. https://www.udl.co.th/product/zema-lotion-ซีม่าโลชั่น/

Sorry my wording is a bit muddled there. But as we are brainstorming it opens up a few different idea's.

I did it that way and was approved.(Khon Kaen) But i have noticed i haven't received the email reminder and it's due again in 10 days.

Yes you would need to do a bucket test to get size of overflow right. Your phone calls are best idea till you get back. It is fun to experiment on these projects. Myself i would make the inlet in the bottom but it would also be the outlet with two valves. T-piece and riser back at lake for overflow. Restriction being you can't use the tank while filling. Saying that if he can't remember to turn pump off he might get confused with two valves.
