• AI (not the Sheep and Cattle one) is all around us, and the potential of it is immense. Interestingly, in the podcast we did with Al Mabin, she talks about the lightbulb moment when she realised how AI would benefit her. It was all around time. Listen to a clip on the podcast preview (links are below). It was all around timing. Now, we write a lot about how timing is the most important thing a Farmer can get right. And if AI is about timing, then it would be beneficial for Farmers to learn more. We will run a free webinar for our subscribers (in the next month or so) on AI to find out whether it's useful to us in the Ag space. Do you know anyone who's successfully using AI in Ag?

• Alice Mabin Podcast Preview - Alice has done a lot in the Ag space, a hell of a lot. It would almost be safe to say more than anyone her age, and she's still only young. She has a creative mind, and she gets the Ag and Farming thing. Her latest project is her biggest yet. She is about to release a documentary called "Revealed," an 8-part series that has a 2nd and 3rd season locked in. Watch the Trailer to the doco here. This will be great for the Ag industry as a whole. Take a listen on Apple Podcast here, and you can also listen on Spotify here.

• Our latest stories:

• The fuel and Fertiliser shortage will more than likely mean less Grain worldwide. Some are suggesting that it might be a good thing. We expand on this…

• The big Farm Machinery brands just want to add automation to what they already have. One company is doing it very differently.

• Are you seeing more rubbish dumped along the roadsides? We have, and saw a real hot spot during the week.

• There's a mob spending over $1 million renovating a famous Woolshed. We look back at our Pastoral past.

• Gwen Bourchier is about to turn 100. The Bouchiers are Farming royalty. We look back at some of her great achievements.

• Why are the Bull catalogues so extensive? One lady gives us a rundown on how much work goes into them.

• We asked our subscribers if we need to run an AI workshop so that we all get a better understanding of what it's all about. It was an overwhelming yes.

• Timing is the key to success, but we have also discovered that moments play a role, too. We explain.

• We wrote about how the US and Australia have been dealt great cards when it comes to resources under the ground. One of us takes advantage of it, the other doesn't. I'm sure you can guess. We elaborate.

• Have a great Saturday, and remember to subscribe to keep up with what AI is doing in Ag.
