It goes without saying the horror and anguish faced by the people of this country in
the past month or so has surpassed what anyone should face in a lifetime, our
thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by these natural
disasters. Friends and family from overseas also have been commenting on these
extremes which people and whole communities have faced, and genuine concern for
fellow man has come forth from the far corners of the globe.
Technologies
Our recent Precision Ag days/nights were a resounding success with a decent
number of seriously interested parties turning up to each event, I would like to thank
the Shank’s family for allowing us to use the Glen-Lossie property, and I look
forward to visiting again soon to see just how straight your rows are.
Computers are a working tool on most properties these days, and sometimes they
can also lead to frustration and anger (in my case at least) when they wont work the
same as they did the day before (or sometimes even an hour before) – having said
that what came through from the three events was that more and more of you are
looking at the GPS tech to improve your margins, and as we discussed mapping and
variable rate is without doubt the way forward.

Wife isn't in the car
On a rural road a highway patrol pulled this farmer over and said:
"Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car several miles back?"
To which the farmer replied: "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"
