Mr Moss said the D2 improved on the D1 MacDon insofar when it came to handling bulkier canola crops Northam crew running checks before running the New Holland CR9.90 in the paddock Picture by Rhys Tarling."Which will hopefully help the feeding of the canola up the front giving you greater ground speed and capacity," he said Mr Moss said if the ground had more contours growers should consider the MacDon FlexDraper "Especially if you've got to cut lower to the ground it's going to follow the ground and make sure you take as much in as possible," he said Norrish chaser bins are manufactured in Bakers Hill Picture by Rhys Tarling.The demonstration was also Harry Nuttall's first day at Boekeman Machinery as a sales consultant having previously worked at Dunning's Fuel but we're happy to have Harry on board," Mr Moss said he said there were a lot of growers looking to next year rather than making snap decisions showing Mr Nutall the ins-and-outs of the New Holland CR9.90 combine what sort of options are available for next year because the header market at the moment is at an interesting place "We've got the release of the (New Holland) CR11 and (Case IH) AF10 next year which is a step above what we've been harvesting with."

This discovery adds to a series of significant archaeological finds in the Czech Republic. Jack Lundin, president and CEO, hailed Filo del Sol as "one of the most significant greenfield discoveries in the last 30 years." This claim is false and has been officially denied by company representatives Social media users have circulated yet another story claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has made a suspicious purchase that exceeds his declared income the claim suggests that Zelenskyy has bought a controlling stake in Northam Platinum Ltd South Africa’s largest platinum mining company Propaganda narratives claim: “The South African media have already called this one of the biggest mining deals in years Ukrainians are dying on the front line while the Nazis enrich themselves.” These rumours began to spread on various platforms in early April 2025 The posts also mention that Zelenskyy will visit South Africa on 10 April 2025 to meet with President Cyril Ramaphosa and union representatives from the mine to “finalise” the deal Although Zelenskyy’s visit is indeed planned the story of the purchase of company shares is completely fabricated – as are many similar rumours about supposedly high-value purchases made by Zelenskyy or his wife during the war the lip movements of a Northam miner purporting to be interviewed do not match the audio suggesting a deepfake or voice-over fabrication StopFake has previously debunked similar fakes about alleged luxury purchases by Zelenskyy, including Fake: Zelenskyy Buys €18 Million Mansion, Builds Underground Bunker and Fake: Zelenskyy Bought a Hotel-Casino in Cyprus for Money from US SHIRE of Northam President Chris Antonio says being fined thousands wasn’t something to walk away and learn nothing from “You certainly learn from anything like this,” he said “We’ve done quite a number of checks and measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again and employed an environmental sustainability officer to make sure all the relevant processes and procedures are in place so we’re well aware of what’s required going forward.” Shire of Northam was fined $10,000 for the removal of 300 mature growth trees along Chinganning Road which were estimated to be more than 25 years old The trees were removed in May 2017 as part of a road works program but was done without a permit An assessment by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation found the trees were foraging habitat for threatened species Carnaby’s cockatoo Baudin’s cockatoo and forest red-tailed black cockatoo and were likely to be a significant breeding habitat for the endangered black cockatoo It was determined the clearing likely caused a loss of flora and fauna species of conservation significance and the shire was charged under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 Northam Magistrates Court ordered the shire to pay the fine on June 17 for which the maximum penalty could be as high as $500,000 Mr Antonio said while council voted to remove the trees in a 2015 meeting the current council was working to remediate damages and not repeat mistakes “Nesting boxes have been installed and vegetation has been replanted (on Chinganning Road) as part of the remediation process to replace what was lost during the time,” he said but we’ve heard that it’s worked quite well with the nesting boxes and vegetation even though it’s not in a formal process right now we’ll continue to do that to make sure the remediation is continuing and appropriate.” Mr Antonio said an example of the shire’s commitment to following procedure and being conscious of environmental impacts could be seen in their development of Jennapullin Road everything’s done according to the right steps and procedures and policies for the work we’re doing on Jennapullin Road at the moment,” he said so we’re working with the right government agencies to get offsets that are appropriate “We’re doing the assessments on any potential flora or fauna at risk of damage and everything to make sure all the steps and policies are in place prior to even considering doing any physical work.” The WAFL Eagles scored a pulsating come-from-behind victory to defeat

last 10 minutes and he won some crucial clearances and in conjunction with his silky skills created some gilt-edged scoring opportunities Other young Eagles including wingmen Coby Burgiel and Harvey

Mr Moss concurred that as far as the season had been going the yield was good and the quality was reasonable "But my lord has the weather been against us," he said He said it proved that growers who have two machines or bigger machines were able to make up a lot more ground when the weather isn't favourable but they can push a little bit harder and take more crop than one harvester would be able to," Mr Moss said like needing more staff to get rid of the grain but it does give you an advantage when you're up against it The West Coast Eagles WAFL side will take to Northam on Sunday June 2nd for the team's round nine clash with Perth Football Club The WA Day match offers footy fans a wonderful day out the Wheatbelt with the fixture slated for 11.10am at Henry Street Oval The game will feature fan zone activations and live entertainment with more terrific activities to be announced in the coming weeks All proceeds from the gate will go toward the Avon Football Association WAFL Eagles coach Kyal Horsley recaps Saturday’s round seven loss to West Perth With a deep understanding of form and a keen eye for finding value in the market Greg has built a strong reputation among punters His insights and selections have consistently delivered impressive results making him a go-to source for those looking to back winners Greg is currently on a 5 week winning streak at Northam Whether it's a major race day or a midweek meeting Greg's tips are highly sought after for their reliability and sharp analysis Greg Hooper is nailing his best bets at a good clip Follow him here so you never miss a tip!
