It always amuses me that every year post harvest and after the frantic Christmas rush, we all whinge about the busy year we've just had, but simultaneously start planning to repeat it again the following year!  Looking back, its been a massive year both professionally and personally.  Pip and I welcomed our first daughter.  The trucks have carted a ridiculous amount of hay up and down the coast. We've managed to get another flawless crop out the door to GrainCorp.  There was a great team effort to play another season of road trains in western QLD.  For the first time ever, we had zero harvest breakdowns!  Thank you to everyone who has worked with us, for us, and for those who have trusted us with your business; it is truly humbling.

Then we get to 2026.  Sheds are filling, trucks are serviced, feed tests are pending.  The BOM outlook for the coming year doesn't look kind, but I do also remember a similar outlook at this time last year.  We look forward to catching up with everyone again on this lap and hope to see some rested and smiling faces.

Its hard to believe that it's been 516 days since we closed the doors on our retail baby!  That's exactly one harvest, two sowings, eight rounds of boom spraying, one wedding, one mini house reno and twenty barbecues with neighbours ago. 

It is also 79 weekends that we haven't spent sweeping the shop floor, washing trucks or catching up on deliveries; and that time has been important.

We are going to start selling some hay in small squares again.  We'll start slow and see how we go.  It's probably not fair to charge a delivery fee when there's no shopfront and therefore no alternative.  Please be kind; if you live at the far end of Captains Flat road and order a single small bale, expect a phone call 😂.

In the meantime, please reach out with any questions or concerns.  I'm looking forward to chin wagging with a few of you along the way.
