National Ag Day...........

National Ag Day.............a day to celebrate and learn about Agriculture............
I feel its a day to spread awareness of Agriculture also............
Wheat (above) a staple food around the world
The harvest isn't ours but Mr Chooky was helping out friends...........

Tractor and chaser bin follow aka chase the headers around the paddocks to get the grain from them that they have harvested..............
Header emptying into a chaser bin...........often they are both still moving............
Chaser bins take it back to silos, trucks or temp storage spots...............
GPS systems make all these rows perfectly straight............

you support your neighbours in times of need................
you get to enjoy nature daily.................
everyday ends with beauty..............
we mostly grow sheep (meat and wool) and cows..............

the joy of seeing a full dam means we have had good rain to fill it..............securing our water for our animals and my garden............

One of my neighbours grew this amazing block of pink daisies.............let me know if your in Australia and you want some............she dried heaps and now she is selling them..........
A smokey sunset................
finally I picked a bunch of these gorgeous flowers fresh from the paddocks...................
they just grow naturally...............
that's is for now..........
if you have any questions please ask.............
Catch you later...........

WOW!!!!! What a lovely selection of photos of our beautiful countryside. Where would we be without our great farmers. I've seen lots too lately, but can't load my photos on this stupid Windows 11 device, though I can still enjoy yours. Take care & hugs.

I'm really trying to get back to blog reading! Your post just made me smile. This world would be nothing without agriculture and I am so thankful for your part of it. I hope I can catch up with blog news soon, but at least it is a start! Love those daisies!!

Great photos , harvest is always a good time of year but so many threats with storms, fire and rain and then there are the flies but it is still incredible when all wheels are turning.
