Hey Jim & Albo,

Keep your hands off my business.

You weren’t there for the sleepless nights, the stress, the risk, or the moments where everything was on the line.

I built this in the dark.
You don’t get to show up at the finish line with your hand out.

Not one cent.

You didn’t build it.
You didn’t back it.
You’re not entitled to it.

Get fucked.

[NSW Farmers @NSWFarmers]

The idea that outside groups need to help farmers ‘understand’ their own land shows exactly where this is heading. They're promising funding and support while quietly setting up a pathway for government control of private land.

Let's check in on Gerald the Planet Killer.

Gerald is a four-year-old Hereford cross in a field near Ledbury. He weighs about 600 kilograms. He has been busy this morning.

6:14am - Woke up. Began destroying the planet by eating grass.

7:02am - Continued environmental catastrophe by walking slowly toward the water trough.

8:45am - Committed a war crime against the atmosphere by exhaling.

9:30am - Did a pat. In a field. Where it will become part of a complex nutrient cycle that has been running successfully since before humans existed.

11:00am - Grazed a section of meadow, inadvertently aerating the soil with his hooves, spreading seeds in his dung, creating habitat for dung beetles, and sequestering carbon through the root systems his grazing stimulates.

Noon - Had a lie down.

The scientists monitoring Gerald's methane output have calculated that this methane, derived from grass pulled from British soil, is part of a carbon cycle that has been net neutral for ten thousand years of continuous cattle domestication.

They have not been asked to present this finding anywhere.

Gerald is unavailable for comment. He is destroying a particularly threatening patch of ryegrass on the south side of the field.

Someone stop him.

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to.

This is what they don’t want you to know:-

IT'S HAPPENING

Thousands of Australian farmers are protesting with their trucks against a government ban on sheep exports.

An abattoir in Kuwait designed to ESCAS standards for imported Australian sheep. Not quite the scenes that the activists believe to be true. @livestock_the @meatlivestock #keepthesheep #LiveExport

Live Sheep Export Special Report 2: A Current Affair. The live sheep volumes lifted 29% from 2022 to 2023 and a further 15% increase so far in 2024. That isn't an industry in decline. https://t.co/7ToxMPGGJK via @Episode3net

@Vass2016 @916_stevo I trust government departments as much as I trust biased media outlets you’re using. Also we don’t Patagonia ?

[Wide Awake Media @wideawake_media]

Bill Gates, at COP 28: "The issue of food systems and how with climate change, a lot of farmers aren't able to grow their crops, which is a tragedy for them. We'll talk about using innovation to absolutely solve that problem."

Globalist doublespeak translation: Due to our deliberate war on agriculture, a lot of farmers aren't able to grow their crops, which is a blessing for us because it allows us to replace traditional agriculture with insect farms and fake meat laboratories, in order to assume absolute control of the global food supply, under the guise of "saving the planet".

[Farmers Weekly @FarmersWeekly]

🤔 Jeremy Clarkson has questioned how so little of the money in the food supply chains ends up in farmers’ hands when they are taking most of the risk.

@davemck2 @NationalFarmers But when it comes to pulling our weight no one acknowledges how much carbo we sequester.

‘ban would set a dangerous precedent which would encourage other extreme activist groups targeting the cropping sector, such as those ideologically opposed to use of fertilisers, pesticides and biotechnology, despite…scientific evidence’ @GrainProducers

@CaroDiRusso Here are the figures Caro. The safest place for a sheep is on an Australian regulated live export vessel.

Welfare has nothing to do with this decision.

@MurrayWatt if your ever down the south West slopes of NSW (near Young ) I'd love to have you here for an afternoon or morning to show you around, pick your brain and see your plans for Ag in Australia.
I'm very keen to see Ag in Australia continue to grow but we need your help. Things are changing rapidly and as a young passionate person in the industry I want to share what we do, as some changes and adoptions of tech and ideas have changed our business. I feel the disconnect between consumers and producers may be widening again.
