    You got some great shots in this video. Very cool lighting! It would be cool if at some point you could teach us about what kind of trees are used as the windbreaks around the field. Are those trees native to Australia (and specifically that part of Australia)? Is it challenging to get trees to establish on that land or are those species adapted to it pretty well? I'm in southeast Washington state, USA (Trevor is my sweetheart, so I watch your channel with him), and here the farmers have historically planted locust trees (I think specifically it is the Robinia pseudoacacia locusts, but not 100% sure) as windbreaks. I also see some junipers (not sure which juniper species). Here, we get really strong, drying winds from the southwest especially, so the trees planted for the windbreaks have to be able to take very high wind speeds and also very desiccating winds, especially in winter, when both the dryness and cold of the wind can do a number on any kind of delicate trees. Junipers are probably one of the only conifers that can take it as trees growing out in the open like that. The locusts in the wheat field windbreaks here look like haunted house trees in the winter...very cool gnarly, asymmetrical, branches that seem to not mind the abuse. I hope to travel to Australia someday and look at all the trees. I used to do some research and grant writing for the cattle and agriculture interests in Queensland. That was fun to do from America... Trying to make sense of local government jurisdictions in Queensland and trying to mimic Australian spellings in my writing. I learned some interesting things about the ag and livestock industry there and have wanted to come see it all in person and learn more. Keep up the good videos!

    • @BenCrosthwaite1
      @BenCrosthwaite1 Месяц назад

      Hi Loretta, this country is fragile, but the farmers are gradually learning how to farm it without too much erosion. The previous owner of this farm had sheep, which is challenging in this type of country. As you can see by the natural shade belts, the sheep and wind have nearly wrecked them. The new owners will crop 100% with deep ripping, lime, stubble retention and timing to keep erosion to a minimum. The big trees are eucalyptus, which are pretty tough, but there must be bigger shade belts to do any good. The original shade belts have mainly Tammar, Pear shrubs, wattle and bank-shire shrubs, none of which would make much of a shade belt. The eucalyptus is tough and relatively easy to establish in this country, which has a 15' rainfall mainly in the winter and is pretty reliable.

      Also, Loretta said she likes a certain S. Korean harmonica player from the 90s. Thats her exception to her dislike of it. She has a banjo and wishes to learn it. My grandpa would come home from drinking and play the harmonica and do a jig sometimes when i was a kid so i like it. I convinced a local guitarist to play me a bit of an intro that sounded blue grassy. He doesn’t have a banjo. I am fond of real sounds from the field if i got them.
