🌾 Seeding Season 🚜💨

It’s seeding season – one of the busiest times of year on the farm.

Farmers are out in the paddocks planting wheat, barley, canola, and more, hoping for rain and dreaming of a great harvest. It’s a huge job with tractors, seeders, and trucks travelling day and night.

🎯 What you’ll spot:

✅ Freshly turned paddocks lined with precision
✅ The first hints of green shoots poking through, particularly after some rain!
