All hail me! ('cos I'm pretty good)
So it's official - I am the greatest grower of cotton in the history of western civilisation and therefore the world, 'cos them slanty eyed asian types never did nuthin' good anyway.
CSD had a variety trial of a few experimental cotton varieties alongside a few old favourites. This involved a lot of farms in most of the cottongrowing districts in Australia. There were four farms in the Condamine-Balonne catchment area, one of which was us. We kicked arse. There's a little place next door, a hobby farm really, you might have heard of it; it's called Cubbie Station. They grew 28,000 acres of cotton this year. Not as well as I did, but. They were involved in the variety trial, too and their best yield was 4.02 bales per acre ( which is about 10 bales per hectare for those of you who only speak metric). Our worst was 4.05 bales per acre. Some bloke up near St. George managed to get 4.27 bales an acre (10 point a fair bit bales a hectare) but we got 4.53 bales an acre, ( about 11 point a little bit bales a hectare) more than anybody in the whole wide world! Well, the CSD variety trial, anyway.
I prepped the ground, I planted it, I cultivated it, I sprayed it, I irrigated it, I was even smart enough not to have to pick it. (Picking sucks at the best of times, but picking variety trials sucks sixteen different ways). I ama God.

Rat,
Hip, too.
Mary,
did it ever occur to you that the southern states are short of water because they over developed their own catchment areas in the first place. Cubbie (note spelling) has pretty much the same ratio of water storage to cropping area as Telleraga, Collymongle and all the other large cotton properties in NSW. The major difference between Cubbie and southern developments is the amount of space between developments, which in fact allows more water to reach the watercourses than is the case in the Namoi District, or most of the Gwydir; both of which are in NSW. Cubbie is a soft target for ill-informed southerners who are not aware of the facts. Particularly those southerners not weilling to admit the mess they made of the whole development process. You did it first; we learned from your mistakes. I'll leave that last senence alone, I don't get into those sort of discussions.
P.S. What's a malita?
militia?
I did a quick google last night on Malita, because it sounded so familiar... you have the choice of a Porn star or a distributor of power tools. hehe which do you prefer?
I knew a girl once girled Melita, at first I thought it was her, but then I figured that someone training to be a concert pianist would be unlikely to have their own airforce. I googled it too, just then. I got a pub in Italy, a sports bra, skatewear, some sort of geological feature and a porn star. No power tools however. Pity really, porn star and power tools - the lines just write themselves really.
I think Rat may be right, though.
You really do need to get out more old buddy. Ask the big boss man for a long long weekend. Grab some music.
It's none of my business - but - are you getting your end in these days?
By the way - I know you are just a simple farm boy but I'd appreciate a in depth spray on Cubbie at some stage. I keep and eye on them from LatteLand as far as I can but I'd appreciate a bit of info from an intelligent insider - or even yourself [smirk snort giggle]
fxh,
I'll do some research so that I've got the numbers right, then I'll whip up something cerebral.
As for your question, let's just say that I remember sex.
Vaguely.
And Gladstone has always been kind to me.
You Guys wouldnt know how to treat a lady so have sex with your boyfriends cos you wouldnt have a chance us girls.
Mate, where I come from that's called flirting. Sure you don't know this shiela ?
Adrian,
I did a bit of cyber-stalking on Mary (actually, I just read her blog, but cyber-stalking sounds much more sinister) and I can say conclusively; because it's my blog and I'm allowed to, that Mary is a reclusive 15 year old girl from a lower middle class background in the sandbelt suburbs of Melbourne.
Or she isn't.
Mate, be afraid, be very afraid !
