Crop is planted........

[mag]

Not much rain about here in WA, have dry planted 40% of paddocks in the hope of some rain, if it comes and all things being equal we may make do, other wise another tight year ahead.

Been busy making fuel for our humble old tractor, total to date is 500 litres of which we used 300 to plant, so at least that is a saving.

May the rains come soon...........:thumb

It's pretty dry everywhere I think. We have had virtually no rain this June, around 13 mm - our average would be somewhere around 200 or so.

Plenty of frosts though, not sure what if any damage has been done to emerging crops. Check out the front cover (http://www.flickr.com/photos/courier/171134528/in/set-72057594109417707/) from our local paper - it's a bit hard to see but the cow has a nice coating of frost on its back :D.
