Podcast preview - Nikki Lyons just set a record for shearing 502 Merino Lambs (unmulesed ones, mind you) in a 9-hour working block with breaks in between.
Nikki outlines in detail what she went through on the day and the preparation she put in before the event. Take a listen here.

Today’s Trends - Overall many would be plenty happy with the weekend rain. The best thing is that Monday was windy for man which means Hay damage would have been minimal. Also for those with Hay, there will now be less Hay cut so supply will be less.

What things sold - Combines, Oaten Hay, Spreader, Windrowers, Hay Rake, Almond Hulls, Rams, Hay Rakes, Tractors, Stone Roller, and a Skid Steer Attachment.

What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• We will have the Nikki Lyon preview podcast out today. Take a listen here.

• In our full Nikki Lyon podcast, which is available to subscribers, she took 10 years off when she had her 4 kids, and when she returned, she was in shock at the state of the industry. Since then, she has made an effort to promote Wool as a fibre and the Shearing industry in the hope that it might get better. She has genuine fears that it might be a shadow of its former self. She is a real industry hero.

• Fun is underestimated. Sometimes we don't have enough fun. This time of year, communities gather at a local race meeting somewhere. It's a great way to connect and take your mind off the day-to-day pressures. We attended the St Arnuad once-a-year race meeting on Saturday. And guess what? It was loads of fun. When was the last time you had some real fun?

• Welcome to country… No, no not that one…… We held a 40th party on our property (in the green Fook Farm Woolshed) 2 weekends ago and had over 100 people attend. They were all from inner city Melbourne, so for many of them, coming to the bush was a novelty. We'll the feedback was huge, they loved it, and some want to return with their own parties and a wedding. It was great to get people out of the city to enjoy what we take for granted in the bush. We have such a great lifestyle.

• If you subscribe, you are going to get great value out of our Farmer replies. We have lots a great opinions and stories that really resonate.
