Is it possible to repair feeder house cog belts? Seems ridiculous replacing a full set at $11k just because one breaks at the joiner #askX

Demeter Grains purchased the Newdegate North Rd grain storage facility from a local farmer in June 2026. CBH were provided notice at that stage that their lease would end. Demeter has repeatedly offered CBH verbally and in writing that they would assume all responsibility for

Supposed to fly back to Australia and woke up to the fact @MAS has cancelled both our flights and rebooked us across an insane reroute Travelling with 2 young kids 14 hour delay in Seoul 12 hour delay in Kuala Lumpur We are all travelling Business Email comes stating “Our dedicated teams are working diligently to minimise any further delays and facilitate your journey to your destination as soon as possible. Your comfort and well-being remain our utmost priorities during this time. We have made arrangements for hotel accommodation, meals and transportation for affected passengers.” So no stress then? Except no contact. Zilch. No hotel, transfer, meals, no further emails. Concerned as we had 90 mins before checkout, I spoke with @AmexAU who arranged our travel they spoke to @MAS who informed Amex it was an us problem and they would be offering us nothing in support contradicting the email. We have now had to rapidly arrange subsequent accomodation in seoul and KL, airport transfers, rebook previously paid and booked transfers as well as rebook patients and work all the while working against a short checkout schedule from our hotel in seoul and as you can guess last minute prices. We paid Malaysian Airlines for a premium service and when push came to shove, they promised via email one thing and then at no point have the decency to inform you that it’s not actually going to happen and the cost is yours.

💨 Wild times in the Goldfields of WA ⛈️ As a result of the mid level cut off low that's been miandering around the SWLD since Thursday, yesterday the 29th of August, we saw some textbook early spring storms (even though not quite spring yet), impact remote parts of the Goldfields and Southern Interior, and our epic contributors were there to capture it. Whether it was camping or working yesterday, a good storm intrigues anyone and it's always fun to experience one, and then the beauty that follows right WA? Have you experienced anything like this before? Thanks to the below for their videos and images, they definitely made sure to #keeptheireyesontheskies, and please share your content for the rest of the world to see and experience our great state. Happy Sunday WA✌️ 📸 Kerensa H 📸 Guy B 📸 Sanji S 📸 Tammie G

dpird.nsw.gov.au/__data/asse… Widespread yellowing in cereal crops often also with brown blotches in barley. Not disease so no need fungicide. Physiological stress response to cold weekend before last on 1-2 leaves at top of canopy then. Leaf diseases do not concentrate to leaf tips.

Been a brutal 3 weeks on my lowest elevation weather station 14 days out of 21 below 0 degrees. I realise why I get frosted crops down in this area often. This area is normally 2-3° colder than most of the farm and 5-6° degrees colder than the top of hills.

#asktwitter What's going on here?🤔 Seems to line up with the last 1000lts or so of tank mix, 150g fulvic, 1% soa, 330ml reputable 360 cletho (DOM 26), 2lt gly DST, & 1% Hasten. Huge cletho effect/damage but how/why 🤷‍♂️ Will have to do a jar test. Same effect across 4 loads!

At seeding We dropped a Pad of wheat out & put it into oats & vetch to graze. Then it rained at Prenti Downs, & we aren't mustering (yet). Doing a spot of fencing to keep the hay in 😅. Tractor is one of the 140hp TAVOLs that we imported this year. 7.2L 6 cyl YTO engine.

Boxer Gold was used up 1st (LHS), then swapped to Mateno. Big difference in biomass now. Do we A) Like the less crop effect & less Ryegrass control of the BG B) take the opposite on the Mateno C) like whatever yields most D) be unhappy that the effect is worst on the saline soils

Simple little attachment we made up to fit the Himac bucket to pull posts out. Once he gets to the end of the fence line take it off turn around push the entire fence up clamp with the grapple and carry it away.
