With the temperatures slowly rising, I feel justified in writing about the favourite topic of farmers everywhere.
In southern Australia our seasonal change is not as stark as in other parts of the world but there are signs that Spring is beginning to push Winter aside. The first of the fairy wrens are decked out in increasingly blue plumage, the wattles are blooming with gold and the deciduous trees are doing their best to follow.
It is raining as I write this which bodes well for the growing season ahead as the photosynthetic power of the grasslands increases with the length of the day.
