Agri-View

Today is the last day of Autumn. Niwa have come out with a long range forecast of a drier than normal winter, while that may be good in the short term (grazing stock and field work) we need winter in the winter months. Remember lambing, calving and irrigation are only a few months away. 

You only have until tomorrow morning to email me about winning the vest. See last Fridays Blog.

When workload dictates it is time to have a refresh. Of our staff Josh is in the UK, Tim is off to Australia and Pete will be going the long way back to England this winter. Don't think it can't be done to take a holiday, all we have to do is organize our workload and find somewhere interesting to go and do.

While the weather and ground conditions are in our favour why not get that last minute spraying job done. Now is a good time to tidy up any aphids in Autumn cereal and weed sprays on new grass.

Hi all. It is nice to start a new week with such calm weather. Yesterday seemed as though the weather gods wanted to remind us who is boss. Have a good week.

It is time to check out who is looking at my daily thoughts. I am going to run a competition with a Swandri Vest courtesy of Syngenta Crop Protection up for grabs. Simply email me back at molloyag@xtra.co.nz with "Swandri" as your code and your name. You have untill Friday 1st June @ 8.30am.

Cheers Mangi

My skis are waxed and season pass brought, bring on the winter snow. If anyone wants to go skiing give me a yell.

My thought for today.

 As the dairy forecast payement has dropped due to softening worldwide prices and oversupply why is the New Zealand dairy industry selling Livestock and technology to overseas countries.

Gee what a frost this morning! These cooler mornings will be killing a few unwanted bugs, so I suppose thats one positive! My aussie blood doesn't cope the these temperatures!! I'm off on holidays from today. Enjoy Mangi's blogs. Keep smiling!

What a cracker weekend! Trust you all had a good one and enjoyed watching the Crusaders beat the Blues - always a pure joy to see. Have a great day!

A lot of Rugby games to watch this weekend. Methven senior team at home and Crusaders home against the Blues. What will Todd Blackadders pulse be like if the  Blues win?. Let's hope we have a Blue sky weekend.
