Disastrous day for the Corrigin community today and tonight. Many houses and sheds lost. Atm 2/3rds of my farm has burnt with a few sheds and machines. I along with plenty of others are in the same position after this horrible fire. Hardest day of my life.

Weedit purchase this summer has saved approx $40,000 in chemical this year with around 120mm since Nov 1st. Chemical fallows have had least 3 passes around 8% coverage and lately half the farm had a 16% pass. It's a nice feeling when 38ha of chemical lasts 500ha with higher rates
