A Word from Our Maker!

G'day, Choc Irwin speaking!

Our mates in WA have really been pouring R.U.M. onto their lupins, wheat and canola. And everyone here at Beaulieu R.U.M. really feels for those who copped frost damage and then flooding.

But it didn't stop the running of Bulgin Cup sponsored by Beaulieu R.U.M. at the inaugural bush race meeting near Cunderdin. A great time was had by all and we're looking forward to the 1999 running.

Son Peter has been getting around the country literally dropping in on many R.U.M. users.

Helicopter flying has already added a few grey hairs. In fact, he's just back from Southern Africa where he's been spreading the R.U.M. gospel in Zimbabwe, Zambia, East Transvaal and the Lower Velde.

Our South African cousins have big opinions of R.U.M. after their successful trials.

Here's proof that we use R.U.M. ourselves. The other day, young Peter sent a pen of yearling Murray Greys to the local fat cattle market. They'd been grazing on R.U.M.-boosted pasture and buyers scrambled to pay within 0.2 cents of the sale's top price. Not bad, eh?

Inverell district farmer Rowan Butler stopped me in my tracks recently. Reckons he treated part of his chick pea crop with R.U.M. and it yielded 2.6 tonne/hectare. But the part without R.U.M. only returned 0.5 tonne/hectare. Rowan can't wait to tell his local agronomist. Neither can we mate!

According to Alan Henry, R.U.M. reseller near Nowra on the south coast, reports local R.U.M.-grown corn "growing as high as an elephant's eye", are only slightly exaggerated. They were only small elephants, Alan told us.

Cheers! Choc.
