The apanthropists' best mates!
Though I'm fairly sure the current academic studies have underestimated both their vocab / communication abilities, and the complexity of their society.
Bit of video/audio analysis with AI will be fascinating one day...
I had milky heads and wire weed seed and a little dirt in sample... all gone.
I should clarify.
Not talking about wholesale mass assassinations by sniper...
This is the same area as first picture. The dark background is mimosa bush and white heat is feral pigs @ ≈400m. So this is what I do of a night, walk around, doing nocturnal conservation.
So it has limits on chickpea splits... combo of it and a magic/sieve cleaner for that job.
Outstanding on all other aspects, extraordinarily clean sample possible.
Dead ringer, hot as!
The Day of the Jackal TV series....
No this is just commercial grading for chickpeas...if anything I am behind the 8 ball!
But no pressure for me henceforth. Do it in March or whenever suits me!
I noticed the strong resemblance in looks!
My backpackers watched the series and said I'm the personality doppelganger of the character...
erm...
taking that as a compliment?
I don't have a mood board. But if I did this would be it for briars, pigs, everything....
"You'll keep" is the unofficial family motto.
Anyway the thermal will be pressed into vigorous action this evening. Vindicatio for 15 years of crop losses.
Vindicatio
Native vegetation on ground can finally see sunlight after decades of 100% coverage of woody weed for 3 decades: weeds.dpi.nsw.gov.au/Weeds/Mimosa...
Stage 1 (dozer) complete soon.
Stage 2 (sprays) begin in the new year.
Don't get mad. Just bide your time, then kill them all.
My friends, Struthidea cinerea.
Some excellent papers on their language and society:

If farmers clearly understood the costs they would sign this. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/reject_north...
Was a rather busy week with my new little seed grading setup.
Oh and grain vac work in an old silo - for 5 hours after the facemask broke - not so wise. Mad lung infection, 36 hours sleep in 48.
❤️😉
It’s so very deeply encouraging to see the charity regularly reaching around 100,000 accounts, organically, every month.
Thank you, those who help, share, encourage, and support this vital work in rural Australia.
Especially at this time of year.
I am deeply grateful.
In other words -
Farmers have all the needed capacity and tools to adopt and to scarcities, when market signals direct them appropriately.
A greater margin share enables this faster. Take supply chain margin from others and give to farmers...? Solved.
I don't know about that.
Coordination implies control.
I'd advocate a position that removing existing controls/controllers (esp those Andrew mentions) is both the remediation and the best solutions going forward....
NewsCorp spends the week promoting fossil fuels as though there's going to be anyone outside a bunker to buy their crap.
And the online customer reviews to go with it!
Twittter, Meta, Google, Apple...
Whole bunch of billionaire owned/controlled companies harvesting reams of data on individuals... our proclivities, preferences and prejudices.
Makes you wonder if those folks sharing material like this will get on some naughty lists by big tech?
What fresh hell shall tomorrow then bring, and what new ways for me to foul things up?
Anyway. Have a fence on on paddock at 10.5kv and other 5. More clean downs and fixups post harvest. New water troughs working. Things done.
Chinese solar panel manufacturing goliath JinkoSolar says the firm now ships 1GW of modules every 4 days.

Static version of the same heatmap.
If you are interested in the static image, you can find that here. I'm not sure how well this will display on bsky though. I'll find another way to share it if it doesn't work.
Will was a genuinely great man, exemplary human and great mind. Sorely missed in these times...
Probably will.
Asked a NSW DPI Project to chase up on potential future work (they're already mapping scope and spread of vectors for pests and diseases due to changing weather_/climate change) and see how far south it's gonna get how quickly... tba
Oh yeah...Massive issue in some regions... and yeah a big worry for late sown crops.

I'll be checking for em and hitting hard with insecticides if (or when).
Couple of things different in 6 years.
1. Varieties have changed, going a shorter day one.
2. Grass weed management has got a lot harder so we're changing to address that the best we can.
3. Different advisor. But came up with very normal ideas after discussions. Not much of a bug checker though!
2. Pre plant spray of clethodim and haloxyfop with glyphosate, fluroxypyr, ammonium sulfate and spray oil
3. Post plant spray of paraquat, s -metachlor, atrazine and terbuthylazine.
It's kind of nothing new, but also pretty sensible yeah. Last time in same paddock...
So for managing summer grass weeds in a sorghum crop, my agronomist has suggested the following steps:
1. Plant row spacing. Switch from 1m spacing to 50cm. 2.5kg/ha for 50k plants per ha
Bonus is it let's me do it with JD1890 planter (2nd rank locked up) and add 65kg starter Z. Give it some
