  • Oh, it’s a challenge! A little bit wet to show you much of Nutkin, but there’s still plenty to see - including my soil test results from the last Macadamia Show.

    Stats are interesting and enjoyed the wet footage, poor trees.

      The weird thing is, February 2022 would have been so much worse than this. And those trees in the water are at least 10 years old, so they survived that. Who knows.

      Thanks Ron. What did you think of the soil results?

    Here's hoping for good prices and 'good will' in the fine print this year! Good luck!

      Thanks Jane. You can expect some detailed commentary when the time comes.. crossed fingers on the dollar price especially.

    Thanks for showing stats. Some serious drainage issues on that farm at the end. Ouch.

      Yeah, you bet Aaron. I felt like a bit of a disaster journalist but when I saw it, I cancelled the ending I had planned and recorded that instead!

    It does not look good at the 15 minute mark. Initially I thought they were mangrove trees.

      That’s a lot of water. I suppose a good pump system could drain that out fairly quickly. Hopefully they have a water storage facility to save the water for dry months.

      @@gregorypmullins the problem down there is that there’s nowhere much for the water to go. One or two big water channels that I saw were full and stagnant. As for storage - I think we’re talking just too much water. And more is on the way next week!

      @@nutkinfarm We have a product in South Africa called Damsak. It's a water storage bladder. Large amounts (possibly not as much as shown😳) of water can be stored in these bladders and reused when required. Obviously all of this comes at a cost. Losing trees may be the most expensive.

      @@gregorypmullins the puzzle for me is that this summer is barely a sixth of the rain we got in February 2022. This place must have been completely awash, including the road I was on (Newrybar Swamp Road). Yet these trees are at least 8 years old, so most of them survived that.
