To all those that say geo engineering & weather manipulation are rubbish, well maybe it is or maybe it isn't. All I know is yiu only get one chance to plant your crops. Don't be tempted to go early just because of warm weather. Frosts still happen in November. It's time to put your drought plan on order ,of your on the land. Goodluck❤
I have taken plenty of photos and vids of chemtrails in west Gippsland this month(august).. it’s awful we’ve had no rain up until yesterday we received 10mm.. it definitely happens I watch the chemicals dispersing in the sky falling onto my veggie garden into my water tank.. we’ve hardly got any bees in the garden it’s sad and depressing when I can see what is happening with my own eyes.. I will keep watching the sky and take can my photos I have great collection.. just bastards with all the lies about fake climate change..
Greetings from Northern Country, VIC, about 15 km East of the Mallee. There's no real rain here, either. We do Permaculture farming, so my place is a bit greener than most, but it's condensation, not deep soil moisture. I put in a drip irrigation system last Summer/Autumn as well, so that's helping me, but the dams are not as full as they should be, (one should be constantly overflowing, this time of year, and it's empty!). Because of this, I'm praying for rain, as I'm sure you are, as well. Stubble definitely helps, anything to stop the sunshine from drying out the soil and help provide a substrate for all that lovely, golden condensation! P. S. Congratulations on the 17mm of rain! We got about 7mm of rain out of that system, so it's better than nothing, but I'm still praying to God for that Dam Filler that we so desperately need! P. P. S. Goodonya for the video, Subbed, liked and notifications clicked!
Cheers Henry & family. It was great to hear the relief in your voice & see it on your face. It is remarkable how the crops can hold on so well & respond so quickly. I hope you get some more rain soon.
Fantastic Henry you've had me checking rainfall for your area on a daily and I think I celebrated just as hard when I saw that rainfall gauge as you did 😅🎉😊
all of the rain we've had in the West this year has just slipped south of all you blokes in SA. Hope you just keep getting enough to get a decent crop off!
A cool interesting video Henry. Do you reckon you could do a Cole the cornstar on Canola in a dry year like this and go through some numbers on cost vs return/breakeven as opposed to growing beans or vetch as a break crop being less of a gamble...
Hopefully this front coming through WA this morning has some steam left in it when it gets to your region. It just dumped 60mm on busselton overnight and is about to hit here in the Great Southern. It's been a dry winter here but nothing on the drought you are experiencing.
As it started to rain the other night, I checked radar and saw that this event was going to go over Jamestown so I said to my wife I hope Henry gets 15-20mm from this rain because his crops are really struggling, she had no idea who Henry was, but she does now !!!!!!!!!
Great to hear about the rain.. It’s amazing how the crops can hang on… One thing I’ve enjoyed this year is not bogging up the paddock spraying/spreading haha
Hi Henry, Thanks for the update. It's good to see you remaining positive. It must be difficult. Have you had a word to Him upstairs? If you let Him know your feelings the answer may surprise you. Enjoyed the video about the big rig. Once it's passed its roadworthy are you going to drive it or will it be a hired driver? Seems like you have a big plan for the rig. Maybe you should have been a meteorologist! If you don't mind I may have a word with Him up there and mention you and your enterprise. Looking forward to the upcoming posts.
Great germination for the start you had , must be that magic red dirt !!! Just add water mate . Hopefully she’s booming when drive past heading up the river in a months time 🤞🏼
I farm in the southern riverina in nsw and we had a dry start of the season as well, although since june we have been getting some good rain and our crops have started to recover and look quite good with some good potential pending a favorable spring. From my understanding with canola is it has a stress mechanism where it will go into its reproductive cycle under severe stress. We have seen this in drought as well as waterlogging. Also depending on your variety it can flower for a couple of months with enough moisture so there is still a chance it will recover to a point. Also funnily enough I also tipped out 17mm of rain this morning before watching this.
@christhomas089 Yeah, being indeterminate it can keep producing flowers as long as the season is favourable. 17mm is the biggest rain here in 6 months... crazy.
I noted there had been rain in SA late in week. Watching your video was like watching a thriller hoping for a plot twist at the end. Glad it happened. 😂 seems strange looking at your canola. Lots of fields of yellow on WA social media sites this week. 🤞for some more rain for you.
@ross3282 if we had of had some seasonal rain and a season break, not a mid August break, the canola would be cabbaged out and well on the way to flowering.
Best video I’ve seen in a while mate, great to see the 17 on the gauge 👏👏 I love these types of videos too 👌 When do you make the call on putting sheep on the canola or other crops?
@zanekiley8483 awful mate! What's happened with rain there throughout winter? We're so very lucky to get that rain? Guessing not much made it your way?
Why dont Farmers build large Dams to control moisture , in 10 years or 1 year i will be watching tv news about flood damage to farms . It seems like a mentality bye now that restricts forward thinking , Planning . Humans dont live long enough for your Dad to ask about drought , His Grandfather his Dad and your Dad had personal recorded evidence your Dads thoughts would be viable . Respect i have for Farmers , thank you. Paying specialists for informed opinions on mother nature , id save that generational moneys and build water infrastructures.
@motozz8258 we have small dams around the farm, and a lot of them have been pushed in because we never get enough rain to fill them. If we do get enough rain to put water in them, it all evaporates in the summer anyway. My ancestors put in lots of dams and contour banks to stop water erosion. Now we get enough rain to run water, maybe 1 in 5 years. Farming practices have changed so much. Even in Dads early days, it was full tillage for weed control and leave everything bare. With stubble retention and no till cropping, we don't have the same problems.
Yasssssssssss rainnnnnnnnnnnn
When you started celebrating it could not help but to bring a smile to my face🎉❤
Hope you get some rain soon Henry it's a bugger being a farmer hang in there mate.

Be a farmer they said, it will be fun they said!
Fingers crossed!!!

Wow, I know the feeling, more on way cross everything, We had 50 mm in August, unbelievable, Cheers 🤠❤🦘🦘🇦🇺, Central Queensland
The rain was great after that warm day..80 points here in Bordertown
More rain coming. Predicted here (NE Vic) for Tuesday Wed Thurs next week. Hope you catch some of it.
Hopefully some rain from WA heads your way
As it started to rain the other night, I checked radar and saw that this event was going to go over Jamestown so I said to my wife I hope Henry gets 15-20mm from this rain because his crops are really struggling, she had no idea who Henry was, but she does now !!!!!!!!!
Really hope that rain is the start of things to come for you. So much hard work,time and money invested in those crops. All the best 👍
Do you ever dig up roots? It would be good to see root depth and exudates
Very pleased rhe farm received the rain. Was all looking a bit miserable at the start. Hope this is only the beginning of the change for you. Cheers
Great to hear about the rain..
It’s amazing how the crops can hang on…
One thing I’ve enjoyed this year is not bogging up the paddock spraying/spreading haha
G'day Henry Good to see a reasonable amount of rain for you 😊cheers from Greg in Caldwell

Well done henry hope for some more rain and a good run with frost this season. Cheers
winters day, mannnn Australia really is upside down. Seasons over here already, in ~2weeks gonna start planting winter crops.
Hopefully rain continues to finish of the crops
That transformation was amazing, I didn’t think they’d improve that quickly. Congrats
Great germination for the start you had , must be that magic red dirt !!! Just add water mate . Hopefully she’s booming when drive past heading up the river in a months time 🤞🏼
What a turn around by the end of the vid !!!! Take the day off and enjoy the moment 🥳👍🇦🇺
good on ya Henry a great update and look at your crops we are all in the same boat this year
WOW EPIC !!!! YAY mate CONGRATS !!!!!!
All the best mate hopefully more rain follows
Well done Henry glad you got some rain, its been dry for sure.
So glad you got some rain. Let’s hope for some more.
Hold out hope Henry! It will be a wet spring. Hopefully they can pull through the next month and I think you will be quite surprised
@youhen01 fingers crossed mate
There's always hope Paul.
I farm in the southern riverina in nsw and we had a dry start of the season as well, although since june we have been getting some good rain and our crops have started to recover and look quite good with some good potential pending a favorable spring.
From my understanding with canola is it has a stress mechanism where it will go into its reproductive cycle under severe stress. We have seen this in drought as well as waterlogging. Also depending on your variety it can flower for a couple of months with enough moisture so there is still a chance it will recover to a point.
Also funnily enough I also tipped out 17mm of rain this morning before watching this.
Have had .6mm in cobram
@christhomas089 Yeah, being indeterminate it can keep producing flowers as long as the season is favourable. 17mm is the biggest rain here in 6 months... crazy.
Happy for yous can’t wait for this equipment tour/farm tour video
I noted there had been rain in SA late in week. Watching your video was like watching a thriller hoping for a plot twist at the end. Glad it happened. 😂 seems strange looking at your canola. Lots of fields of yellow on WA social media sites this week. 🤞for some more rain for you.
@ross3282 if we had of had some seasonal rain and a season break, not a mid August break, the canola would be cabbaged out and well on the way to flowering.
Sure does make you feel good seeing that in the gauge but l beat you by 1mm at hamler bridge
I know exactly how you feel.
yewwww 17mm!
Semi desert is what semi desert is. Hope a season saver comes. Is urea a good idea?. We only used that on irrigation
Best video I’ve seen in a while mate, great to see the 17 on the gauge 👏👏 I love these types of videos too 👌
When do you make the call on putting sheep on the canola or other crops?
@@colinwientjens1871 if it stayed dry, probably in about 2 weeks
Rain Rain Rain needed.
First rain over 10ml for the season
We are very similar in Victoria very dry and just get a few mm here and there what varieties do you grow?
Hi mate I just turned off when u measured the rain so dry up here in North west vic crops are literally dying
@zanekiley8483 awful mate! What's happened with rain there throughout winter? We're so very lucky to get that rain? Guessing not much made it your way?
@@lockvalleyfarms981 had 1mm over night that's it we were over due for a dry one
It is what it is hopefully we get something soon before its too late
@zanekiley8483 yeah, with the run we've had, a dry one has our name on it sooner or later.
Did you just get the big rain that came through on friday??
Do you have crop insurance like in the US? Or is that not so much of a thing in Aus?
@stewbird no drought insurance in Australia. Only fire and hail for crops and even thats becoming harder to get.
Do you no till
