    Farmers ability to create wealth with great effort for the country is not the problem,the problem are those seating in big offices with power taking country’s wealth

    The Italians know the right way to farm, small scale and have direct access to the customer we need these market garden style farmers

      Imagine if the farmers markets all of a sudden had 200 new growers in each one. Supply and demand buddy

    I am not farmer.I am a farmer's son.We were kicked off the land one by one.To the city's we run,working in Job's that weren't for us.Robbed of a life inheritance fought for in sweat and blood.

    Isn't the fiat system marvellous? hope they never get these cbdc's off the ground or the last illusion of man's freedom is shot, international banking, corporations, rockerfeller "health" and blatant government enforced misery will only get worse.

    Returning to a fuedal system where the farmer is cap in hand to the land owner. Do what he says or you lose your job and your home. Very depressing.

    what?? 24$ for a pumpkin and all the costs go into picking, packaging and transport?? with no profit margin being left?? Then the Pickers, the Packagers and Transporters must be rich 🤭

    Institutional investment ?????
    What policies is Australian Govt developing to create an innovative economic model for food production & food supply lines IN Australia
    Big Ag (corp industry complex) is NOT a sustainable model.
    Stark footage here showing food waste + NO discussion about regenerative farming practice - change the model & work to lower agriculture's contribution to Australia's greenhouse gas & emmissions (est 16% of total pa) & pollution of watershed

      It is a thing. Usually pushed by city people who have no idea about agriculture or horticulture

    If I were a farmer in Australia, I'd be assessing the probability of farming in Russia or south America.

    Can we possibly have a story about agriculture without it being based around whinging farmers?
    Farming is the greatest game in town....we are making fantastic returns, capital gains are brilliant and things have never been better!
    Get out and tell the REAL story of agriculture!!
