🔥 Thinking of Our Victorian Farming Communities 🔥

To all our Farm Tender members in the fire-affected areas across Victoria, our thoughts are with you. Please take extra care of yourselves, your families, and your livestock during this challenging time.

A huge thank you to the CFA volunteers on the ground, bravely fighting these fires and helping communities prepare and stay safe. We also want to acknowledge and thank everyone supporting these efforts — those feeding and watering crews, providing cool spaces, and looking after neighbours and community members.

Your strength, generosity, and community spirit is amazing.

Please stay safe, look out for one another, and take care.

What was in this mornings edition of The Farmers Club.

• I was sitting in a cafe in Castlemaine the other day, having a coffee, and an older lady came in and said, “I love your shirt”. See the shirt below. I said thanks, and she asked what it was, and I said a Farmers Club, and rattled on about what it is. Ohhh, she said I love a club. It got me thinking about what it is to be involved in a club. I would sum up our club, The Farmers Club, as a place where you give a little bit of yourself and get a lot back in return.

• Do you carry weather baggage? I know Farmers who don’t give two hoots about the weather forecast; their minds are completely free of the implications the weather might or might not have on their business. They bat on as though they don’t know what’s coming. We wrote something very interesting about this topic today.

• Autonomous Machinery is here in a small way, and there are plenty of big bets being made on what the future might look like. We get the crystal ball out and give our opinion on what the future might look like in an article today.

• Is your shire/council deceiving you on rubbish? Are you separating the rubbish from the recycling at home only to have it lumped in together when it gets to the tip? We are hearing that recycling is costing the shire or council too much to handle. We wrote a story about this and some of the deceptions in Farming today.

• Have a great Friday night, and subscribe to start your day fully informed.
