two thirds to 70 per | Forum

I like to be as involved as possible with my daughter’s junior school [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/mike-montgomery-jersey-c-40/]Mike Montgomery Jersey[/url] , as a member of the board of governors I take my role extremely seriously. We had a meeting recently to discuss the state of the School Playground Equipment which hadn’t been replaced in quite some time and had started to show signs of age. It was pretty clear that new items of Outdoor Play Equipment would be required, but being a small community school we didn’t have a great deal of funds to spend. Limited finances were available for the Outdoor Play Equipment so I suggested we organised a family fundraising day to boost the coffers of the school’s accounts. Any money that was raised could go towards new Outdoor Play Equipment and if we approached the local authority they might contribute a little as well. Plus if we asked local companies to sponsor the event we could raise extra income for the Outdoor Play Equipment this way too.

Was that such a great idea?

The rest of the board seemed to think so, we had a vote and we decided to raise money for new Outdoor Play Equipment. One thing I do know about our school is the parents always dig deep for a good cause and what could be more important than new School Playground Equipment. Plans were put in place and we managed to raise a healthy sum for new Outdoor Play Equipment and the next problem was how to spend this money wisely. Obviously we wanted to utlise the cash as best we could on Outdoor Play Equipment and not waste a single penny. It was decided we should go direct to a company that specialised in Outdoor Play Equipment to seek further advice. The team we chose was called Uniplay and they offered a range of innovative outdoor play solutions for schools and nurseries.

It worked out brilliantly!

Making contact with Uniplay was the best thing we ever did. You could see they were passionate about Outdoor Play Equipment and their School Play Equipment was designed specifically to support the development needs of children. With their help and advice we carefully selected a range of Outdoor Play Equipment that will provide future generations with many years of pleasure. Our school now benefits from brilliant Outdoor Play Equipment that helps to keep our kids fit and encourages interaction at the same time. It’s a joy to see the children utilising the Outdoor Play Equipment and I’m so glad we managed to raise the necessary funds to create such a fun-filled environment. "

SYDNEY [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/mark-grace-jersey-c-21/]Mark Grace Jersey[/url] , July 12 (Xinhua) -- A lack of rain in Australia's grain producing region this winter has sparked fears that the country's wheat yields will fall substantially in 2017.

Typically planted in May-June and harvested around November-December, favorable weather conditions during the Aussie winter months from June until the end of August are vital in ensuring the success of a crop.

So far, the dry conditions have many farmers worried.

""Rainfall across most of the Australian wheat belt has been well below average so far this season [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/kyle-schwarber-jersey-c-23/]Kyle Schwarber Jersey[/url] ,"" GrainGrowers Limited, Trade and Economics Manager Luke Mathews, told Xinhua recently.

""Western Australia [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/kyle-hendricks-jersey-c-39/]Kyle Hendricks Jersey[/url] , which is our main production and exporting state has seen some of the driest conditions on record over the last three months and that has resulted in a significant decline in planted area and it's also resulted in some very, very poor crop conditions.""

""There will be some farmers in Western Australia this year that will be unlikely to pull out the harvester at the end of this season.""

The slow start to the season comes off 2016's bumper production year, which produced in excess of over 35 million tonnes of wheat.

This year [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/kris-bryant-jersey-c-26/]Kris Bryant Jersey[/url] , private estimates put the figure at least 10 million tonnes below that, around the 23 million ton mark.

National forecaster, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences have projected a similar outcome of 24 million tons.

The drastic fluctuations in production levels have seen the price of the commodity spike.

""Over the last few months we have seen a significant rise in the value of Australian grain [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/kosuke-fukudome-jersey-c-9/]Kosuke Fukudome Jersey[/url] , but that is somewhat consistent with what we have seen off shore,"" Mathews explained.

""We have seen some very steep increases in global grain prices over the last couple of months.""

""In an Australian context, wheat prices for January 2018 delivery today on the Australian Securities Exchange are trading at around 310 Australian dollars per ton (236.34 U.S. dollars) [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/kerry-wood-jersey-c-24/]Kerry Wood Jersey[/url] , a few months ago they were back at 240 Aussie dollars per ton (182.98 U.S. dollars) and back in harvest last year around November-December and January prices were trading as low as 210-220 Aussie dollars per ton (160-168 U.S. dollars).""

With some producers in the United States also facing similar challenges in their supply, Mathews said buyers around the world are beginning to grow concerned that the price of wheat could rise even higher.

""Our key export markets are starting to try and secure some supply as we speak,"" Matthews said.

For Australia [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/jose-quintana-jersey-c-49/]Jose Quintana Jersey[/url] , those key export markets predominantly include South East and North Asia.

""Being a large producing nation, with only a relatively small domestic consumption base, we're reliant on export markets [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/jon-lester-jersey-c-15/]Jon Lester Jersey[/url] , we export roughly two thirds to 70 percent of the wheat that we produce in any one year,"" Matthews said.

""Indonesia is our primary market from a historical context in the wheat industry, but China is also an incredibly important market.""

""Over the last couple of years it's about the 1.2 to 1.4 million ton mark for wheat exports into China.""

To make matters worse [url=http://www.teamcubsprostore.com/john-lackey-jersey-c-6/]John Lackey Jersey[/url] , Australia's other major winter crops barley and canola are also expected to see significant year on year declines in production.

""It certainly is a worry and it is a significant challenge that farmers a. [url=http://www.wholesalesoccerjerseysonline.com/]Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalenhljerseysonline.com/]Wholesale Jerseys China Free Shipping[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalenfljerseysshoponline.com/]Wholesale NFL Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalencaajerseysshop.com/]Wholesale NCAA Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalencaajerseysonline.com/]Wholesale College Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalenbajerseysonline.com/]Wholesale NBA Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalenbajerseysfreeshipping.com/]Wholesale NBA Jerseys China[/url]   [url=http://www.wholesalemlbjerseysonline.com/]Wholesale MLB Jerseys Cheap[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapnbajerseysfreeshipping.com/]Cheap New NBA Jerseys[/url]   [url=http://www.cheapcollegejerseyschina.com/]Cheap College Hockey Jerseys[/url]
