Farmageddon the unseen war on american family farms…
Really interesting doco thanks
If FG has this kind of thing in mind, good luck to him.
But saying he welcomes GW cause it will be benign, sort of like the medieval GW he's kidding himself. -
A bit later, he went to work for Telecom. I could not have won more: more decisively, more clearly, more pettily.*
I hate/love that Me I was talking about.
Fucking great read -

Anyway some soundbites from the article:-
Meaning what again?
Them city dwellers dont know shit?
Farmers need some lovin' from the banks and society? -

It’s not easy when 89% of the population is urbanised; the highest % of any country in the world. (Jacqueline Rowarth in Rural News Dec 4 2012)
As a bald statistic, it means nothing. You think its bad? How so?

So FG or as I like to think of you the weird third person narrative guy. I think it must be some kind of distancing mechanism so your delicate ego doesnt get too bruised by the harsh language that we bandy about here. Lucky we dont bite eh!
Farmer Green sees absolutely no evidence of change in urbanity; only finger-pointing and heel-dragging.
Urbanites or urbanity is a rather vague term, and you are talking about a very disparate group of humanity. Would you mind awfully pointing that finger in a more specific direction?

Farmer Green hopes that those concerned with the ecology of Godzone now have a glimmer of hope that not only is a better environmental outcome possible, but that desirable economic and social benefits would also flow from the necessary changes.
Theres always hope, the trouble is the longer its left the more that has to be done. And politicians and business leaders would rather the public stayed out of it when it comes to all that high powered negotiating stuff. Are we supposed to just do as told? mmm? And as for dropkicks statements like those from Plunket and Unsworth, mouthpieces much!
You havent laid out a very good case for those economic and social benefits flowing from the necessary changes tho’. -

Sorry , which; crony capitalism or no way to change it?
No! the revolution bit, dummy... So your looking for a bit of exposure of the principles you practice. Let me get this straight. You are planning for a 10 generation, thats OH 200 years into the future? for your family. Do you want to go into the viability of your"vision" or is it talk. You run dairy herds? not dry stock(its easier). And you take care of --your-- purchased bit of land. Contact with neighbours? I could interrogate you further if you wish. And at to my timetable. Sorry.
Mike spoke up for himself rather well on the recent media debacle.

O.K crony capitalism is the name of the game . . . everywhere
No way to change that.(barring violent revolution).Again with the presumptions, you dont know that. We're not in a dictatorship.... yet.
Dr Mike Joy was good on media3, I thought.

The cows won’t have to get wet next time.
Here's an idea you could designate someone to knit them nifty outfits as well so they dont catch a cold.
