Cows get bigger and the calves stay the same size 🤔. Most of those big cows will be phased out of our program over the next couple years I think!

Fuel deal between Trump and Australia secures crucial backing Great idea. Having oil in underground storage in the United States will be a great help in an emergency. Perhaps we could buy some Greenland Ice Shelf and call it Murray-Darling water. smh.com.au/world/fuel-deal-b…

Disgraceful reflection on the individual who posts such views. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. #enough #callitout #AusAg @afsnsw @NationalFarmers @farmer_dj
Disappointing that in 2019 a #female @NationalFarmers President meeting with the PM is directly compared to a sexual act. No wonder #women are underrepresented in #Ag. #enough #callitout

How do we know climate change is real, and human-caused? Because the science says so. Here's the proof: #ClimateStrike
Replying to @KHayhoe
When we see climate changing, we don't automatically jump on the human bandwagon, case closed. No, we rigorously examine and test all other reasons why climate could be changing: the sun, volcanoes, natural cycles, even something we don't know yet: could they be responsible? ..
