What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.
  • Hay Report - See our latest Hay Report here, which we released yesterday.

  • Don’t suffer from Farming FOMO - Get your daily hit each morning…..

  • What are "snippets"? The Farmers Club's full newsletter is presented in short form, so a snippet is a screenshot of something interesting that can be consumed by the reader in no time. Some articles have 10 snippets, and you get the gist of the article in the 1st snippet, and if you are interested, you can consume the rest or just move on. We have 125 snippets in today's edition, for example. Subscribe, and I will send it to you.

  • What's a "just saying"? They are just short little headlines, sentences or quotes that are shorter than snippets. They are packed full of info, but you can read them in a second or two. We have 13 in today's edition.

  • What are "funnies"? They are memes or cartoons we grab from social media each day. We usually have around 20 daily. The funny thing about the funnies is I played an April Fool's prank on our subscribers, saying someone had complained about the funnies being too close to the edge, and I was going to stop them. People were outraged that I would stop them on one complaint. It was a joke that worked, and the funnies continued. They are great for a quick laugh in the morning before you start your day. We have 25 in today's edition.

  • Farmers aren't happy with the BOM weather forecasting this year as they watch Crops go backwards on the promise of a wet spring. We have written about this before, and we wrote about it again this morning, how these forecasts are a guide only, and we shouldn't be making decisions on he back of them.

  • Do you have a Farm Consultant? We wrote about this trend that is happening in the Ag space.

  • Is oversupply the enemy? As Farmers, we have got so good at production that collectively it can lead to oversupply and, in turn, prices collapse. We wrote about this today.

  • Have a great Thursday night and start your day fully informed.

One of the 25 funnies in todays edition.
