Rain, rain we love rain at this time of year. Great for the grass, not so great for building stuff on farm or earthworks.
This week's installs have been pushed out and earthworks for next week are on hold. So the boys are making the most of it in the yard, manufacturing panels for stock. It's been a big, busy start to the season and stock is running lean. Once the weather clears and we're back out on farm, they won't get another proper run in the yard for a long time.
Every bunker and job we've booked so far is already made. If you want yours made from this week's run, now is the time to lock it in.
Being organised matters. With this much rain early in the season and El Niño on the cards, maize is shaping up to be ready earlier rather than later. Our bunkers need a minimum of three weeks to cure before they take a load. So if you're expecting to harvest in the first week of March, your bunker needs to be installed by the first week of February. And so does everyone else's.
That leaves concrete booked through to 20 December, then back on 10 January, and from then to 10 February is just one month. Take out this week's washout and the Christmas break, and there's roughly eight working weeks to get earthworks done, installs scheduled and bunkers cured. Each bunker takes three to five days to install depending on size.
If you've been sitting on the fence, now's the time to get off it. Give us a call this week and we'll get your panels made and scheduled in while the yard's running.
