If you put your head under the covers it might go away! @emhiggins had courage to write what everyone knows rural land values down under weight of banks retreating and environ issues. Rather than thrust your head in the sand rural consultants should help farmers deal with reality
I’m worried about this. The BakerAg open letter was honest and considered, deserves support not attack. If the Govt really prioritises mental health you would ask the PM to direct some of the $1.9b allocated to this rural crisis, not blame the victims.

Trust me, the discussions around the dinner tables of our farming families these last couple of nights are so different to the world this guy lives in. Farmers across NZ can’t see how they can farm to these limits, all this st a time when Ag sector has never been so pessimistic.
Here's a question for you.
Does farming attract the desperate?
@stuartkvtaylor penned this blog right at the beginning of the Millennium Farming launch back in March last year. What do you think? Are we making progress?
