The good old Crop inspection - Does everyone remember the Crop inspection? They used to take place on a Sunday with a group of people, and there was probably a beer or two involved. Also, a Holden Kingswood (Ute or Car) with a bench seat that could fit 3 across. 

 

For many, the Crop inspection was disguised as a bit of a booze cruise. But hey, it was fun.

 

It seems the Crop Inspection as we knew it has died as people get busier in more complex Farming systems, and instead of inspecting Crops on a Sunday, they are spraying them.

 

So what did Crop inspections really achieve? They got Farmers off their own Farm, it got them talking and tossing ideas around with other Farmers, and you got a pretty stern critique of how your Crop and Farm looked. Especially as the afternoon went on....
