    Rain doesn't bother me..........except when it runs in through the cavity of the front wall of my shop and cascades down onto stock and window displays! :rolleyes: *sigh*

    TC, are you worried about the potential locust threat hanging around? Is it likely to eventuate or is the govt. spraying going to curtail it?

    Well yeah, it's a Tier 1 asset, long life, low sovereign risk and I believe (don't actually know off hand) that as you said Canada tax rates are good for mining co's. I think Elders do have good long term prospects once they sort all their $h!t out - but who knows how long that will take? The...

    I agree. Hoping they'll drop further in the process of this bid so I can load up on some. On a similar vein I think it's sad that a lot of Australia's agricultural businesses seem to be falling into overseas hands. Don't get me wrong, as an investor I don't mind, but it presents me with less...

    Very interesting TC. I do remember hearing that (perhaps from you) about wheat having a problem with too much water. Ouch, 10% loss from birds! I suppose scare crows don't help, short of putting a few hundred of them in the huge fields. :D Seems to be the same with us on a smaller scale...

    Great pics TC, thanks for the update. Another stupid city slicker question - you say you're hoping for rain especially for the July wheat crop as there hasn't been enough rain since it was planted and there wasn't enough moisture in the soil. Do you guys ever water wheat crops such as this...

    Wow, that's some impressive figures! Hard for us city slickers to fathom land sized that large to operate on! Again probably a really obvious question, but when you refer to higher yield areas due to rainfall - does this mean you can plant new crops more often than the lower yield regions, or...

    Great post TC, looking forward to following the story this season. Looks like the only thing you're missing in the cabin is a bathroom. :) Perhaps a stupid question, but with the advancement in technology now and in the future - you've already discussed why you still need to be in the cabin -...
