Nice work Ozzy. Thought that was going to be an easy round to pick.😒

Good week of footy. Thanks for doing the roundup again Will. Thought GWS looked awesome with their running power. Dockers showed some G&D. Another long year coming up for the Roo's and Eagles but everyone else look competative.

Do we get a mulligan on the opening round of tipping.😀

Very disappointing when your a struggling club. High draft pick with a heap of games pumped into him with no return. Would not surprise me if Essendon pick him up or later with Tassie. Certainly the right decision to let him go,Clarko doesn't need the publicity or the club. On a brighter note,looking forward to LDU putting a full season together,real Brownlow chance. Backline and ruck stocks looking fragile but the game is evolving with more mids playing further back down the field. Hope the new boys have been practising the team song😀

Thanks Chook,

I have heard of up front payments for a crop like sugar which you get 4-5 years out of one planting. But only for payment to cover that cycle which is around 1000 baht/rai x 5 years so 5000 baht/rai in advance. Farmers don't tend to rent in long periods for fear of squatters rights after 10 years. Well thats what they believe around here.

You could try Ubon forage seeds for some grass varieties.

Happy new year. Went to town yesterday and passed a few sugar weigh stations. Going price at the moment 1700 baht + 250 baht. Another good year for sugar farmers

You should look at what implements you want to use first,ploughs,power harrows,sprayer,post hole digger,water pumps,etc. Two wheel drive or FWA,front blade and remote hydraulics. Time spent in the field to do the job. A lot of clay soil here so timing is everything. Too wet or too dry. Will it be stored in a shed,are rats a problem with chewing wiring harness's. Will you have a pressure water cleaner,grease gun and air compressor to maintain tractor. The Kubota 34 and 47 horsepower are most common around here although not unusual to see the tractor bonnets up from overheating,working to hard.

Rice harvest over for the year. Contractor ended up charging 750/rai to harvest with his combine We got 6000 kg's off 17 rai so enough bags kept aside to eat and sold about 4000 kg's to other locals at 10 baht/kilo. Just waiting on the 1000 baht/rai government contribution to end with a profit.

If your having a clean out but let the deadwood remain,nothing will change.

That's pretty harsh on our beloved Owl. Nothing like being an eggspert on all matters.

Depends how many metres long they are.

You spelt colour right.

Charlie,are you moving it to the lounge?

Only new two bands out of NZ. Dragon and Split Enz. Oh and Jenny Morris.

Had all the worlds best golfers in an autograph book from a tournament at Lake Karrinup,Perth,WA. Nicklaus,Seve,Tom Watson,Greg Norman etc Lost it when we moved houses in 86.

I wonder how the people are faring that bought and got caught holding those expensive off colour ones during covid. The prices were insane.

Can i ask how you know a poster changed their name. I asked the question on name changes months a go in a topic and was told only mods know.

I'm glad you cleared that up. From a previous post i thought you were a tranny in distress but now you have clarified your on Tran's team. I like Transam by the way.

I presume you mean the AN society. Not bringing your home country society to Thailand.

Rice harvest is just around the corner. Some in the village have started hand cutting. Looks like i might be away when ours is ready and don't think the FIL will wait for me to get back to harvest. So rather than hire a driver for our harvester i've suggested hiring the other harvester in the village. Mrs tells me the going rate is 900 baht/rai this season. Happy to pay that but wondering what other people are expecting to pay in their area. We are west of Khon Kaen/Chumphae area.

Getting called a Shill,Apologised etc runs thin after a while.

I vote for Bignok Sirineou Bob The last poster i saw race to 10,000 posts was David48 years ago. Be careful as his demise was soon after. The old boys who had slow internet and are plugging away in the 20,000's are bitter.
