You know better I know deep down inside you would rather have winter in January and live a normal life like northern hemisphere people do.Not my fault everything is arse aboot face north of the equator. ....

I always find that picture quite upsetting. Maybe I’m a bit soft. For all I know it was staged, but it’s become synonymous with all the memes and media hype to do with palm oil. I just want to know what happened to that individual for some reason.
It's because it is so human
We can relate to it
It is very emotive
No doubt that's why it is used . . .
Video online of guys killing an orangutan while clearing forest is a gruesome watch. Tries to run down a fallen tree and stopped by the digger bucket then killed as it gets on the ground. And they call livestock farming cruel. Bas****s
Yeah

Modern western society
Are pretty fûcked up girls at the end of the day . . .
Ironically is it maybe only modern western society which has the power to change things through government.
However it’s never going to happen.
Your on a tractor? Does that mean you are planting something and that there has been some more rain?

Only if you buy it, no one is forcing you to buy it.Unsurprisingly we had no increase in water allocation today. And are around 75000 megs short of getting one And yet Victoria keep pulling water out of their asses.... Another 1% to vic Murray sees them up to 90% and the goulburn went up 3% to 89%.
Consequently temporary water is now up to $435/meg
As for the recent palm oil posts, I'm afraid this year we are part of the problem as palm kernal meal is one of the cheaper stock supplements this year
True. And I am trying to avoid it. But unfortunately to feed cows you either have to buy the feed or buy the water to grow your own feed. Or sell the horrid pricks of animals and go down the river fishingOnly if you buy it, no one is forcing you to buy it.
Think I much prefer ryegrass to bindi's and paddy melons and all the other sh!t that grows......funny how different livestock to cropping farmers see ryegrass.......my dream is for a genetically modified ryegrass that you can spray barley grass out of. Now theres a price of a weed if ever I saw oneTractor - yes. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate tractors . . .
Planting - unfortunately no. The falls of rain we have received have not done anything for the subsoil moisture, which is still bone dry ( & subsoil moisture, a "full" profile, is what we rely on to grow our crops, we grow on stored soil moisture rather than "hoping" it will rain on the crop ). No, the moisture is very shallow & has just germinated a lot of aggressive & "succession" weeds, which at this time of year use a lot of moisture & have little benefit . . .
Recent falls have just cost people a lot of money from controlling these "weeds", without presenting any planting opportunities or giving any hope of it . . .
This is a neighbours block that I lease & there is a serious issue with glyphosate resistant ryegrass ( have I mentioned I hate ryegrass ? ) It is shallow rooted & particularly aggressive at using moisture & causing issues with soil structure, seed soil contact & germination of following crops . . .
Anyway, I am running a Blade Plough through it, to take out the ryegrass with minimal disturbance of the soil surface. A Canadian machine that used to be popular here in the min till days before cheap glyphosate & full on zero till
The other option is big rates of paraquat, but I don't like doing that & this is cheaper ( although a lot slower )
