I went around putting some flyer things in peoples letter boxes saying I was after casual work... didn't think it would work but I ended up getting the best paying job I've ever had after only putting out 10 flyers- $20/hour for a dumb fuck farmhand like me is pretty bloody good considering I'm...

I just finished accepting my offer of BRuralSc then... I'm not going to a college though, I only live near Uralla (I'm about 20-30 minutes from Armidale) and so think I may as well take the cheap option and stay at home.

Yeah read the SMH... top was some asian from James Ruse, infact I think there was only one Australian in the whole top few, and all bar the Australian were at Ruse too

No I didn't go to ruse, I was in armidale. Doing well is all down to what you enjoy, because I really enjoy ag, studying, homework etc was never a chore and I remembered it, while no matter how much I studyed for english (which I didn't) I couldn't do well. I just found it so boring and...

I had to wait in line for about half an hour to use the 15 minute express computers in Washington DC public library to get my results but I'm so happy- 87.80. Considering I was worried if I would even get a UAI earlier in the year I'm very happy. It doesn't matter because I was already accepted...

How did everyone go in the exam? I know I said it was hard, but it turns out I got a 96 so I guess I was wrong. Any way how did you all go? Does anyone know what the top ag mark was? If so who got it? Anyway hope you all did well.

Why would you go to a city uni to do ag science? By far the best place to do ag science is UNE at Armidale, they have Ag, Rural science, Livestock science, Agronomy, Agribusiness, Agricultural economics etc. Plus you are in the middle of prime agricultural country with sheep and beef, only 1 hr...

Be a bit hesitant doing the experimental trial. My teacher as good as told us not to do it, he said it is very hard to do well with. To do it well you need a lot of money and a hell of a lot more time than anyone in yr 12 has. But if you do have your heart set on it go ahead. I've ofte wanted...

Re: WTF! that was hard!!! Thank god I'm not the only one. I didn't do too well in paper 1 but I really, really stuffed up paper 2. I ended up writing too much on the first animal managment question and had no idea what to write for the 8 markers in animal managment or sustainable landmanagment...

I love all the discworld novels, I even used "The Truth" as my related text for "telling the truth" in english as it tied in so well with Frontline (this is the one with William DeWorde setting up the Ankh Morpork times paper). My favourites would have to be the city watch ones with Vimes etc...

Study? Bugger that... I think it is just about dead because noone these days has enough balls to get of their arse and get their hands dirty. Everyone shuns ag as a hillbilly subject and would rather waste their time fucking around doing drama or some other waste of time thing. But I can laugh...

HSC and prelim Ag looks at a wide range of aspects of Australian Agriculture. The core topics are Animals, Plants and product study, with options of: Animal managment, Plant managment, Horticulure, Agribusiness, Sustainable land managment and Innovation and diversification. Most schools will...

There are no practically viable alternatives to mulesing at this time 1) The intradermal injection is prohibitively expensive and does not work effectively 2) The skin clips and similar a) will cause further infection as the flies are attracted to the smell of rotten flesh and, b), Those...

sounds like an experiment you must have done at some stage
