You can now join me at my new only fans account, 'onlygrains'.
On this account, I will be providing daily grain market commentary in my strongest Scottish accent whilst only wearing a kilt.

Absolutely awful to hear of the attack on Indi MP Helen Haines. Hoping she will be ok.

Are Australian cattle prices really becoming more volatile, or are bigger swings just a reflection of higher prices? We crunched 73 years of inflation-adjusted EYCI data. Volatility has jumped since 2020, but we're still below the peaks of the late 1970s.
Queen of the South is getting a lot more exposure recently but not for good reasons

I can’t help but notice some Americans are using Tesla demoing a shell concept car hopping for two seconds as some kind of global claim of technical superiority.
Well…
Thrust-based vertical manoeuvring? Developed in Britain in 1957, culminating in the Harrier Jump Jet, with the P.1127 making its first hover in 1960.
And the upside-down car stuff? That’s fan-generated downforce, already demonstrated by British car company McMurtry with its electric Spéirling, which has been destroying track records around the world for the last few years using that exact technology.
So let’s not confuse demonstrating an existing engineering principle for the first time in a Tesla prototype to inventing the underlying technology. And the difference is, both the Harrier and McMurtry are real world products, not vastly adapted prototypes designed for a single demonstration.

In my spare time I’m Grounds Chairman at our golf club…nothing quite like sitting back, cruising along mowing grass. Tournament prep a week out from one of our three majors we hold.

42km through the night (furthest I’ve ever run before when I got lost in Canberra) for the bravery trust Dusk to Dawn challenge.
Apparently someone ran 101.2km

Who knew the secret to the art of the deal is simply repeatedly bullying the invaded country to accept occupation without fighting back without putting any pressure on the invader?
This is the longest stretch if reality I’ve ever seen in my life. The non Christian population of the falklands is less than 2%.
It’s extremely remote - so not sure how this will become an Islamic state.

Elon Musk says decisions to restrict the speed or usage of Starlink’s Starshield are up to the U.S. military and Trump
Probably satire but if not, can I get some of what that strategist is on.

BREAKING: US considers unfreezing Russian assets, with Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner planning a release of up to $100 billion in frozen Russian sovereign assets as an upfront incentive for a limited ceasefire on energy infrastructure, per the FT.
European officials rejected it outright, opposing giving up any control over the assets or returning any to Russia. "This was just simply not going to happen," an EU official said.
At the same time, the US threatened Ukraine this week with a total halt to intelligence sharing if it struck Russian energy sites again.
