Another 8mm for the lucerne seedlings. 

Weekly evaporation at the moment is about 40mm, rainfall 0mm... no wonder this paddock is dry.

Sunrise over the oats. 

Yesterday’s photo was a paddock of dryland oats that we were going to cut for hay. With only 10mm rain in the last 2 months they are just hanging on. 

In contrast these oats have been irrigated... which is a very expensive exercise at the moment with a 0% water allocation. 

These oats are special… they are next year’s seed.
