Hello again

Welcome to another edition of the SLF. I missed last week as I was away at Hamilton Sheepvention but we are back full of fight this week and there is plenty of worthy news…Here we go

Oh what a night

The Thursday night at the Royal (will have to think of a better name) went to new heights last weeks with head guest chef Lois “Chop chop” Johnson woweing the crowd with here signature dish. According to my spy it was the best creation thus far and has really lifted the bar for others to follow (Farmer Healy must be nervous). Her Chicken and 9 Veg was absolutely cooked to perfection and then the 2 deserts were devine according to my spy. Looks like things keep rolling on at the Royal….

Single no more

SLF Hall of Famer Bruce “Boofhead” Hendy had declared his hand. He has officially changed his status on Facebook from “Single” to “In a relationship”. I’m not really up with all the news on this one, so can someone email me some “more details please”

Long night in the top end

I received a text from Boofhead last Monday night as he was attending the Darwin Cup, which has now become an annual trip for him and his mates (and maybe someone else). Anyway they must be having a hoot of a time because the text read “you know you’ve had a big night when you get back to the hotel and they are serving breakfast”

Wow

The world has stopped spinning, famine kills 2 billion people in the Northern hemisphere, the last drop of oil has been barrelled, the Gold Coast has washed away, no no no we have bigger news than that, the Muddy has started to run. I have seen it with my very own eyes, the top end of the Muddy Waterholes creek is flowing. I’m not sure how far the water reached down this famous waterway but it’s a mighty fine achievement and we can at least start thinking that the drought is all but officially over. However I do need a statement from the “lord of the Muddy” John “Jack” Cameron to officially declare the drought over, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

Using Product Tender

As mentioned my Yarrawonga mate Dwain “Daryl” Duxson has released his website www.thefarmtrader.com.au and he wants the Marnoo district to be the first to start using Product Tender. PT is something new for Agriculture whereby farmers can list something they need for the farm and then have suppliers quote on that requirement. For example if you wanted to buy 50t on of fertilser, you would list if for say 20 days, then suppliers (retail and local) would start quoting and after 20 days the farmer would pick the best quote. This saves the farmer doing the ring around. At all times the farmer will remain anonymous and he/she is the only one that can see all the quotes. It’s as simple as that and it’s free. So to start simply Join > fill out the form > click on the link you receive in your email inbox > go to my profile > Product Tenders > Submit a Tender and away you go. If you want to know more or are having trouble give Dwain a call on 0427 011900

Righto must go for my walk to get the paper, ave a good week.
