741 - Tuesday's Daily

Farm Tender Daily - All the news for Tuesday, the 7th of October, 2025.

Today’s Trends - Trends are hearing that a lot of cereal crops around the Rainbow area have been dropped, with reports of one operator alone doing around 6,000 acres. This suggests we’re likely to see a lot more hay out there than originally expected. Some are even saying prices could drop to around $200/t if the market becomes flooded. If the dry weather continues, we’ll probably see even more hay coming up for sale.

What things sold - Augers, Big Square Baler, Hay Rake, Pick Up Front, Draper Front, Lucerne Hay, Headers, Flat Top Trailer, Mower Conditioner, Tipper Trailer, Urea and Seed.

What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• We have a full podcast for everyone today - Our guest today is Kelly Marson from Let's Talk Australia. Kelly has blown me away with her passion for wanting to help with the negative experiences that come with mental health issues. You will get an understanding of her passion and commitment when you hear her speak. Because of this and also because it's such an important subject, we have decided to make this podcast available to the public through Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as behind the paywall to our paid subscribers. Take a listen on Apple Podcasts here and over on Spotify here.

• Are you a sprayer of fencelines or not? It's controversial. We delve (in an article today) into the pros and cons, and the reasons why some do and some don't.

• What's important about belonging to a club? It can be wide and varied, and it depends on the individual. The question I need to frame is, what's the lure to become involved in The Farmers Club? I'd say it's a place Farmers and Ag people go to find info, ideas, news, etc. It's a place where they get to hear and interactfrom their peers through the replies they send in. It's now become a place where you can listen, at your own leisure, to some interesting conversation from people who have a story to tell. And for the ones that come into this club, a high percentage stay. It's something to belong to. I invite you to join our club.

• According to Simon Quilty, we can now trust the Sheep and Cattle markets not to have a 2023-type crash again. That gives Livestock Farmers a bit of confidence. But can we trust the Wool market? We wrote in an article that, depending on how much you rely on Wool for your total Sheep/Lamb income, is how you will view it as an industry. Rely on it less as a source of income, you will think it's a nice little bonus on top, but if it's 80 per cent of your income, you could see why it's been on the nose. Can it be trusted this time around? What do you reckon?

• Have a great Tuesday, and start your day informed.
