Lots of interest - Since we last spoke, we did an AI for Ag webinar that was hosted by the ultra-capable Alice Mabin. Alice did a great job delivering the information in Farmer-speak, and our subscribers walked away with an array of new tools to use in their businesses. I could not believe how popular this subject was. It’s like people feel a real need to understand this stuff, and they deem it necessary to help them stay on the green line (see image below). I had one job, and that was to push the record button. And guess what? I forgot. Dickhead. Anyway, we are going to do it again at 7 am next Saturday morning. If you want to join us, remember you can sign up for our subscription for free for the first 30 days.

Our latest writings:
We wrote about how tough the 1990’s were for Farming. But what about the 2000s?
We hear of the demise of the Roadhouse so much so that many Truckies take their own food with them these days.
It’s the uncertainty that makes Farmers anxious. We see it when their expensive Machines break down, and they don’t know what the repair cost will be.
We wrote about the most fractured relationships in Ag. You could say they haven't been getting on for some time.
Are data centres the new transmission lines? We elaborate.
It takes a unique person to make it big in Ag. We outline one operator that has made it to the top.
Our guest contributor, Vic Hoffmann Dohle, writes about how red tape and unnecessary administration are pissing Farmers off.
The AI webinar hosted by Alice Mabin was huge, but yours truly forgot to record it. So we are doing it again next Saturday.
AI worked out a Property purchase in seconds.
Is AI the death of the Farm Consultant? We don’t think so. Not yet anyway….
Our guest contributor, Bec Lindert, writes about the disappointing withdrawal of funding for the Inland Rain project.
Have a great Saturday, and subscribe to keep yourself fully up to date.
