MERRY CHRIS

New Baby(s)

A SHIT Day!

We are delighted to welcome another delightful grandbaby into our evergrowing family.

Ever had “one of those days” …?

Yeah, we all get ’em, right?

Hunter James Halupka was born to our youngest son Tony and his lovely fiancé Amy Lidgerwood.

Amy is a Loxton North gal, who works in the Loxton Viterra office. Many farming families in the area would know her parents Mark & Deb Lidgerwood as Mark carts grain and grapes during the summer months and Deb works in the Loxton newsagency.

We’re expecting another grandbaby before Christmas, and we’ll announce that one in our next edition.

Danny Blow-Drying Harley And how do you wash and dry your favourite vehicles?

Danny uses a pressure washer to clean her and the blower vac to dry her. Plus a quick wipe over some of the chrome-work.

“I can’t afford to be too precious about keeping her spotless when we live up a dirt road,” he says.

Re-cycle Your Silos?

Cute? Yes, but I’m not really sure I’d want to live in it.

Well this week, I noticed a damp patch of earth just outside one of our factory toilets. While there is a garden bed there, the area hadn’t been irrigated for a week and there was no dripping hose or anything. At the centre of the metre round damp patch, it was very wet to the point of puddling.

“Hmmm… looks like an underground leak from something,” I thought. “Danny’s gonna love this!”

So he came out to inspect it and neither of us could think what pipes might be underground just there that would be leaking. That toilet block has been there for 30 years and some underground water pipes may have been in the area for close to 50 years. Well before our time.

But we knew it wasn’t a water pipe for the loo because we knew that was on the other side.

My father, and Grant Sheds founder, Grant Telfer (now 84) set up a labyrinth of pipes to take rain water from the abundance of factory roof area to tanks and from there to his house and ours, so we can transfer rainwater where needed. And also river water pipes to supply toilets, pumps etc.

So we asked him if he could think what water pipes might be there. He couldn’t remember.

Discussing it further later with our son Brenton (you may have spoken with him if you’ve called for a shed quote), he asked, “It’s not sewerage is it?”

“No,” says Danny, “It will be either rain water or river water.”

“Did you taste it…?” asks smart-arse Brenton.

“Nah…” replies Danny, “It would taste like shit!”

Oh the fun we have some days at the office.

Art Silo Trail Another portrait of a local farmer. This time at Patchewollock, Victoria. I’m loving this use of country silos on the fledgling Art Silo Trail. Keep up the great work all those involved. It’s wonderful After an eventful year or so with fires, dry months, wet months, great crops, flooding rains, hail storms, minicyclones and tornadoes that have decimated crops in some areas, we hope you are able to take some time out, even if only briefly, to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.

And as the year closes, we sincerely wish you Merry Christmas and we hope your new year is happy and prosperous.

We enjoy bringing our mini-magazine FARM GATE NEWS to you and it will continue to arrive in your letterbox regularly in 2017.

Much love to you.

Danny’s team in the Ride To Conquer Cancer. Danny is 2nd from left (in yellow).

I’t’s A Bit Like Child Birth SOME PAIN-MUCH GAIN!!

Thank you to everyone who supported my third year participating in the 220km Ride to Conquer Cancer from Perth to Mandurah, WA. As many of you know this is a cause dear to my heart after losing my father only 18 months ago.

This year there were 905 riders who collectively raised $4 million during this amazing event, which brought a little wild weather, a mischievous median strip and a whole lot of much-appreciated support.

DAY 1: As the sun peaked between showers and wind squalls, we assembled.

There were speeches, survivor stories and of course the all-too-close stories of loss.

Then we were off, and like it was a signal to the bike riding gods, it started to rain. The wet weather stayed with us to Byford, where we arrived with numb feet. After some TLC from our amazing crew and followers, we were into the country, with a headwind increasing as we rode for Serpentine and beyond, progressively gaining strength from 25km/h to 40km/h and more.

The last stretch into Mandurah was relatively short but who knew this seaside town was equivalent to the height of Mount Everest?

Add to that a 61km/h “breeze” and if you stopped pedaling, you stopped moving.

Finally, we neared the end of day one with a downhill ride into town but the route included a new bridge across the estuary and the wind was so strong we were riding on a lean.

Thankfully, the last 2km provided a tailwind strong enough we nearly didn’t have to pedal at all. If only it had been like that all day.

DAY 2:

After a 6.30am start, we headed north. There wasn’t much breeze and the little there was made for pleasant riding. What’s more the body was feeling OK. The riding gods

were smiling. Heading into Fremantle and it was like all rides should be: sunshine, tailwind and good friends to ride with.

And then, the powers that be provided a little surprise…

Along the Swan River, I looked up to greet a medium strip - hit it head on, went over the top, and straight into the sign warning me of its presence, while another rider ploughed into my back.

“Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark,” I thought, waiting for medics to patch me up. But no damage to the bike, I’d have to finish the ride.

For the last 17km we travelled as a team so we could ride through the finish line together. What a feeling to ride over 200kms with your mates raising funds for cancer research.

Proof of his battle wounds.

With your wonderful and much-appreciated support, I raised $5400 this year and $14,700 over my three years of participation. Our team raised $32,523 in 2016 and $100,000 over the past five. You can see that your support, built upon support from others, can create tremendous results. And together, funds research that we hope will find a cure for cancer in our lifetime.

Will I do it again next year? Ask me in about six month’s time when the memories have worn off. It’s a bit like child birth I guess - lots of pain at the time but you go back and do it again anyway.

THANK YOU…. I SURVIVED!!!

Widow’s Cancer Message About Her

PASSIONATE SA MERINO MAN “It is such a silent killer and I hope you r family does not go through what I’ve had to in the past 4 years…”

Hazel Stockman, Burra SA

It is sad stories like these that keep Danny keen to help raise funds for Cancer Research . See his Thank You story on page 3.

CHECKING YOUR SKIN

The late Rex Stockman with his wife Hazel of Springvale stud, Burra. They are photographed here in 2012 prior to their dispersal sale after 50 years breeding and selling their prized merino sheep.

Photo courtesy Stock Journal Rex Stockman was a merino man - a crop and sheep farmer of renown in the tight-knit community of Burra in South Australia’s mid-north. He was also a quiet, gentle man who loved his family, the breeding of Merino Sheep and his farm life. He was a father, a grandfather, and a husband who shared 50 happy years with his wife Hazel.

Above all, he was a fighter, but Rex’s long battle with cancer ended in June this year when he died aged 78. Hazel shares his story in the hope it might give fellow farmers pause to apply sunscreen, and...

Follow up on any spot that doesn’t seem right.

“It started with what appeared to be a cold sore on his lip,” Hazel explains. “But proved to be anything but...Following two surgeries on his lip, neck and chin, we eventually got the all-clear until cancer was found in his lungs. Then after four years there was this aggressive tumour on his brain that proved fatal, and left him with only eight weeks of life.”

When Rex received the initial diagnosis of skin cancer, it was the second in a series of blows for the Stockman family. The couple’s daughter Cheryl was also diagnosed with liver and bowel cancer the same year, while Hazel’s mother and Rex’s brother also passed away the same year..

As a result of the illness, Rex and Hazel began the disbursement of their prized Springvale Merino Stud in 2012 after 50 years breeding and selling prized merino sheep at Springvale Stud. It began as a joint venture with Rex’s brother Peter, and they were well known for large framed, heavy cutting sheep with

P4

clientele extending across SA Victoria, NSW, WA and Qld. Their stud was split in 1997 with Rex keeping the Merinos and Peter the Poll Merinos. Rex had hoped to see the last of his ewes shorn and sold, but was able to view some photos from his hospital bed the week before his death.

Hazel says she enjoys reading FARM GATE NEWS as she reflects that they often recognized farmers they know locally or who they’ve done business with from around SA and interstate.

Their long-standing 40’ x 60’ x 16’ ‘Grant’ shed, purchased in the mid 1990’s, was regularly used for their Merino Field Days, the dispersal sale and as a useful farm storage shed in between.

The Stockman’s prized awards included Grand Champion Merino ewe and ram fleece at the 1993 Royal Adelaide Show as well as the prized Thomas Memorial Challenge Trophy.

Rex and daughter Cheryl both succumbed to cancer within a year of each other. For Hazel it was five long years and thousands of kilometres of endless trips to hospitals in Adelaide, Elizabeth and Burra. Now as she reflects on the long battle behind them, Hazel takes comfort in the life they shared.

Most skin cancers are detected by people themselves or by a family member. If found early, most skin cancers can be successfully treated. Make sure you check your entire body as skin cancers can occur on parts of the body not exposed to the sun. Ask a friend or family member to check areas you cannot see, such as your scalp and back.

See your doctor immediately if you see anything unusual or notice any changes to your skin.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure During sun protection times (when the UV is 3 or above), use a combination of: • Slip on sun-protective clothing • Slop on SPF 30 or higher broad- spectrum sunscreen • Slap on a hat • Seek shade • Slide on some sunglasses Check the sun protection times daily at sunsmart.com.au, in daily newspapers or on the SunSmart app.

For an excellent flyer with photos of different types of skin cancers, I highly recommend you visit this web page:

“We shared 50 years of wonderful married life, and says everyday was just such a bonus now that Rex’s life has ended” However, her message to others is clear: Stay sun safe, and get checked.

Skin cancer is a silent killer that is too often left too late by men who love farm life.

Major Farm Challenges After Whole

FARM GONE IN MINUTES

November 25 marks one year since the Pinery fire ripped through South Australia’s mid north leaving two lives lost and a trail of destruction spanning 86,000 hectares.

For Pinkerton Plains farmers, Newton and Sue Lines, it was the day their 1800-acre grain farm was reduced to ash in minutes, and the beginning of a year which challenged everything they knew about farming.

Recalling the day, Sue explains the first clue they had about the fire was a call from a concerned friend. Sue was in Angaston at the time, while Newton was home, dozing over the cricket. He’d put a stop to harvesting earlier due to the weather warnings of ‘extreme’ fire danger. That rest was soon interrupted, however, when Sue alerted him to the news.

At Newton’s behest, Sue remained at Angaston while he took on the task of preparing the property as he’d made an educated decision to stay and defend.

He filled the gutters with water and put sprinklers on the lawns. He then watched from inside the house as the fire headed towards him and the smoke and embers passed over the house.

When he walked outside he was greeted by searing heat and embers stinging his legs. He remembered his daughter Sandra’s advice to “check out the roof space” as most fires in houses during bushfires start in the roof space. He found the main beam and two of the roof hips were alight.

“So I took the screen off the window, put the garden hose up the manhole and started putting the fire out.”

For about an hour Newton fought the fire, banking on the water pressure and pipes that could have been destroyed by fire at any minute. Then, at last, help arrived to douse the final flames.

“I’m not sure I would have made it on my own,” Newton concedes. “Maybe I would have, we’ll never know...I was 68 at the time…and I was probably moving like a 30-year-old.”

While Newton was fighting the fire in the roof, the front had passed through his property, searing every paddock, razing a couple of sheds, destroying a header and

wiping out hundreds of 30-year-old trees along with 13.5km of fencing.

of events which challenged Newton’s lifetime of farming experience.

The Lines were fortunate, however. Only the roof of their home needed replacing and every crop but 350 acres of peas had already been reaped. They note insurance company CGU was “fantastic” in the wake, while

To stop soil drift, they ripped up the ground, but the little rain before seeding wasn’t enough to disperse any clods. When heavier rains fell, their pre seeding chemicals were washed down to the seed bed and thinned out some of the crops.

Grant Sheds treated us like “one of the family.”

As for what they’ve learned; there’s a few fire procedures they may implement including a portable fire extinguisher in the roof, and a freestanding water pump with diesel motor.

When their roof was replaced they also opted for scribed roof capping so leaf litter, straw and embers can’t get underneath.

“The one thing I would suggest to other people is don’t store things in your roof space ‘cause it means you can’t get in there to put the fire out,” Sue adds.

Newton reflects: “So much has happened since November 25. This whole 12 months has just tipped our farming life on its head.”

Farm Gate News will touch base with the Lines again in future editions, revealing why this Pinkerton Plains couple met the American President and how they raised $24,000 to help others affected by the fire.

Newton & Sue Lines own 3 Aussie-Tough ‘Grant’ sheds: 2004 15m x 24m x 5.1m Machinery Shed 2013 6m x 10.2m x 3m Garage 2016 9m x 13.5m x 3.9m Machinery Shed

But they’re comfortable with Newton’s decision to stay rather than flee by car during a fire which rapidly changed directions, catching many off-guard.

Meanwhile the Lines are still discovering little things impacted by the blaze.

An unexpected loss was the straw that protected the paddocks, resulting in a chain

This 2004, 15m x 24m x 5.1m Machinery Shed with 2 x 9m and 1 x 6m wide bay beams was unharmed in the fire.

Harvesting Now But It’s Time To

START SEEDING!

Increase Your Farm Profits Seeding…? Yes, while you won’t have much time in the middle of your harvest it is RIGHT NOW that you need to be seriously considering your hay and grain storage needs for next year!

You need to be “sowing” next year’s increased profits, by making hay and grain storage shed decisions now.

Our builders are already booked many months in advance and if you don’t order your 2017 shed now you may well miss out on having it ready for next season.

2. Good Export Hay Prices & Demand means hay producers are investing in sheds to protect their hay income.

3. The Fast Depreciation Tax Incentives available on sheds used for fodder storage that is seeing many farmers investing now.

4. The Recent Steel Price Rise that caused many farmers to invest earlier.

It’s been like a “Perfect Storm”

I know that sounds like a pushy used car salesman at an office Christmas party and that is not our intention at all.

If such a description can be used for farmers having a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to invest in farm infrastructure that will truly increase their farm income for years!

We just want to make sure you understand the genuine urgency level so you don’t miss out.

If you want to build a new shed (of any type) before next harvest, you really do need to be making your plans now.

I know you’re busy.

I know it’s not easy.

For the following reasons, shed sales have gone bananas and that’s why our builders are booked out so far in advance:

But if you give me a call I’ll make it easy for you to plan your new shed… even while you’re doing your grain harvest work.

1. A great grain and hay season in most areas. Yes, I know some areas have been hit by flooding, hail and wind, but other areas still have their best crops in years.

Fertiliser Shed Almost

Paid For Itself In One Year!

The Price of Fertiliser Was Going Through The Roof!

About 3 years ago we were told that the price of fertiliser was going to go through the roof. So we bought a ‘Grant’ fertiliser shed that has the sliding roof.

It has been absolutely brilliant!

The fact that we can bring a semi load of fertiliser in, tip him off and have him gone in just 5 minutes has made a HUGE difference to the delivery times of fertilisers and the ability to get the transport operators to deliver it.

When we found out the price of fertiliser was going up we expected, at that stage, that the shed would be paid for by the difference in the price of fertiliser in one season!

It didn’t quite turn out like that because they stuffed the price of fertiliser around, but it was very, very close.
