The family farm - years of 'bashing and burning'

"I bashed the trees down and burnt everything … I was a bash and burner."

"It took about 200 years to transform a once wild island into an agricultural powerhouse,
farmers raised to conquer the land; slashing native vegetation to make way for agriculture.Much of King Island's native vegetation has been cleared for farmland."

"It could break us": Valley farmer says Chinese tariffs have crushed the alfalfa export market

“Schulz says he voted for #Trump and believes in the goals of his tariff plan, to bring #manufacturing back to the U.S. and expand exporter access to foreign markets”

Tell me how stupid you are by telling me how stupid you are. Geez, I’ll bet you the majority of his workforce are immigrants that trump pledged to deport

Hungary confirms its fifth foot-and-mouth virus outbreak.

Hungary on Thursday confirmed a fifth outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) at a cattle farm in Rábapordány, near the Slovak border, escalating concerns over the spread of the highly contagious livestock virus first detected in the country last month.

Why Brazil, a country with 12% of the world’s fresh water, faces a water crisis:

“But it is Brazil's role as an agribusiness powerhouse that threatens the nature that provides it with so much water.”

Climate change too of course. But rainforests and natural savannah preserve the water.

"Prior to the pandemic farming contributed less than 10% to GDP and dairying was 3.6% of GDP. Clearly, farming is not the backbone of the economy and 30,000 farmers have a far greater influence on Government policies than they deserve.

...

Farmers pay $151 million in levies each year to farming organisations to promote their interests and products. They can also pay over $1000 each year to Federated Farmers."

I hope you enjoy this wash fold I captured today, because it was the hardest walk through the most awful terrain I've ever undertaken!

Some past, not very good studies have suggested round forms indicate building over prehistoric structures, but this is invariably not the case.

Rounder enclosures instead just cause less panic in sheep and are often easier to build when the stone supply is limited.

"#Paraquat is still manufactured in the #UK and #China, sprayed across farms in the US, #NZ and #Australia, and exported to parts of #Africa and #LatinAmerica — regions where Parkinson’s rates are now rising sharply.

"paraquat helped drive major profits for its maker, Swiss-based and Chinese-owned...#Syngenta [which in the US and Canada alone] faces thousands of lawsuits from people who say the chemical gave them Parkinson’s"
