Our resident engineers Ben White and Josh Giumelli created our special January edition front cover with the help of a generous farming family in Cunderdin, Western Australia.

The Godfrey’s lent their paddock, 60 large square bales of hay and their telehandler for half a day. With the help of some of Josh’s children’s Lego-bricks as a template, the team got to work setting out the hay numerals and after three-hours, a little adjustment and a few test-flights, they completed the layout as the hot Wheatbelt sun was headed for the horizon.

Ben and Josh then flew the drone over the layout and captured not only the cover image but a video of the finished product.

The Kondinin Group has existed for the past 60 years to be an independent source of information for agriculture and in that time the team have had the pleasure of visiting farms, testing equipment and farming practices for the benefit of all members.

We have learned and shared so much in that time with all our members, thank you for your ongoing support. We trust members continue to find articles useful, practical and ultimately help you become more profitable.
