👨‍🌾 What sort of Dad is yours?

The gardener who already has everything he needs?

The bloke who can spend half a Sunday fixing something that wasn't actually broken?

The Dad who thinks a trip to the rural store counts as a day out?

Or the one who says, “Don’t get me anything”… and then somehow manages to be disappointed when you don’t? 😂

Whatever kind of Dad you've got, we’ve got plenty of ideas to help you find something he'll actually use.

🌱 Gardening
🌾 Rural & fencing
💧 Irrigation
🌿 Landscaping & garden supplies

And if you're not quite sure what Dad needs, just come in and have a chat with the team, we'll do our best to point you in the right direction.

❤️ Happy Father’s Day from the Barnyard Trading team!

We asked Darryl which three pesticides he recommends most often and why.

🌿 Spectrum – A residual insecticide that's great for controlling aphids and mealybugs.

Zeus – A broad-spectrum insecticide that tackles everything from lawn grubs to mosquitoes.

🐜 Termidor – Darryl's go-to solution for long-lasting termite protection.

Have you tried any of Darryl's favourites? Drop in to Barnyard Trading and chat with Darryl to find the right solution for your pest problem.

One of our revenue streams is refurbishing box trailers, made possible by the generosity of community members who donate trailers.

Members assess and strip each trailer, removing rusted components. The rebuild typically begins with new or additional crossmembers, followed by the installation of the floor and walls.

The underside receives two coats of rust guard, and the walls two coats of automotive paint. Once the bearings are checked, new lights installed the trailer is rewired and registered. Trailer is complete and ready to be sold.

Thank you to Barnyard Trading for donating a trailer; work on this trailer will begin soon. If you have a trailer you would like to donate, please contact us.

Till next update.

Customer Question of the Week

"Which termite treatment do you recommend?"

If we had to pick one, it'd be Termidor.

It's a product we've recommended for years because it's proven, reliable, and trusted by professionals.

Of course, every property is a little different, so if you're not sure what's right for your place, come in and have a chat with the team. We're always happy to point you in the right direction.
