Hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping for some help today. This week I've had two paddocks baled (~120 small square bales). I was able to get in approx. 30 to 40 bales and the others are still in the paddock. Unfortunately, last night we had a shower for about 5 minutes. It came down relatively heavy in that time. This morning, I can feel that the outside of the bales are damp. I've stood them all up in teepees in hope they dry out today. It is sunny today and about 20C with a slight breeze. Is there any hope of saving the rest of my bales? Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm about to buy a new box trailer that will be a big help for me on the farm, but I want to make sure that it's perfectly possible to use it for hauling materials as well as transporting livestock like sheep when necessary. I'm presuming that it's perfectly fine to transport sheep in a box trailer (say 8x5) that has a tall cage on it, like a 100cm cage (which is in addition to the 30cm box sides), right? 

Hi all,

I am relatively green to farming but as lifestyle change I am looking at purchasing a 33Ha Sugar cane (29 Ha under cane). 

I have checked out the property and have found that it has:

- 100ML of water allocation with pump and irrigation equipment

- Sandy Loam soil type

- Currently returning 90-100 tons/Ha

Hi there

We are fairly new to the farming industry, we have had our property for 15 years all those years with cattle but never into purebread. Now we are looking to go into artificial insemination & are becoming a member of Angus Australia.

My question is how do we register our property to a stud?

Angus australia dont need it to be a stud but my dad would like to register it.

Can anyone clarify? We are in NSW

Thanks

Hi,

I know that there are a lot of variables in establishing the cost of sinking a bore however I would appreciate some idea of what it has cost people to put one in.

Hi..I have a 4 day old calf..whose mother stood on her hoof and removed about 1 inch of the poor things toe..we stopped the bleeding with bandage and sprayed on yellow lotion antiseptic and then bandaged with elastic bandage ... will be giving the calf pennicillin tonight.  How often should we change bandage..keeping the mother and calf penned and calf is putting weight on back leg and nursing properly..Should we be doing anything else.  Scared to remove dressing in case bleeding starts again.

Thanks.

I am trying to find a way to reach out to small hobby farmers or people with land that would consider buying a single row planter/seeder for potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic and the like.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have already printed flyers, had ads in news papers (including TAS country) and online advertising, yet a guy two farms down from me wasn't aware that I had these machines.

Where am I going wrong?
