Finishing harvest tonight. 6000ac done and an end to another terrible year on the land. We had world record low rainfall then La Niña raised its head and smoked our hay and dumped unseasonal rainfall when we didn’t need it but that’s farming on YP, could be worse I guess, at least I’m having a few cutout drinks tonight. Bring on a normal rainfall season in 21 and beyond.

Sorry to hear.
The parents live over near Gundagai these days and the old man helps one of the local farmers out and this years hay season was the best on record. They are all doing 16-18hr days and can’t keep up.

Bloody hell. You must be close to this. All the best mate and enjoy a day (or two) off. For those not familiar Kainton is between Paskeville and Arthurton.

DAYMANS CRUSHED BY ANOTHER TOUGH YEAR
LESS than 50 millimetres of rain fell on the Dayman family's Kainton property between April and August, leading to what Andrew Dayman described as his worst crop since 1982.

Mr Dayman said his 2500 hectares of wheat, barley and legumes were "just about dead" by the time scattered rains - which were "not much use" - arrived in late August and September.

They yielded up to 0.3 tonnes/ha for their peas, and hoped to jag 0.5t/ha for lentils. Both crops were damaged by October rains, which caused late head growth in cereal crops.

"We'll let the green barley heads fill as they're up to 20 per cent of the crop, but the wheat we will just try to harvest above the green heads, as there aren't as many," Andrew said.

Heading down to Katarapko Creek after work with 8 mates and we're going to sit in the creek with our deckchairs and esky's and drink goon and sunkist all night and have a shit load of laughs with the tunes cranking and play poker for coin later in the night and then head home first thing in the morning for a day on the couch in the air conditioned eating cyclones all day.
