Farmer Roy's Random Thoughts - I never said it was easy.

I used to think it might be fun getting an old defender (when they were cheap), making a heavy bull bar and fitting full length RSJ side "tree guards" then taking it into the North London traffic to play dodgems......

Then I grew up!

Be great for taking on protesters

f**k (and I cannot stress this enough) those damp-pizzled.pansies

@Farmer Roy.
Although 800 Miles or more away from you , The Greensills (Sweet Potatoe) farmers from Bundaberg area have been featured in The Sunday Times today.Financier, Lex Greensill a family member has gone insolvent owing £2.7 billion to creditors!!!
The story is about how Lex Greensill must have put a lot of money into the Sweet Potatoe farming business to allow it to expand so fast, allowing them to under cut neighbours, Greensills are not popular with local farmers.
Is the above old news in Aus, or perhaps you have never heard of the guy.

Big news. Same as over there with Gupta credit squeeze affecting your steel works. Whyalla in SA is under threat as well. Maybe not making sensationalist mainstream everynight. Did read they are looking into the farming arm owned by his brothers and how they did what you said.

I saw the sweet potato fields up near Bundaberg last year, they stretch as far as the eye can see. Then a bit further along the road are macadamia plantations that go even further.

More monocrop. Trust a banker to be involved in that!

Probably way behind the curve on this.
I’ve been listening to the regenerative journey pod cast by Charlie Arnott for the last month or so. It’s been the most interesting and surprisingly inspiring thing. Such diverse and thoughtful people.
I look forward to listening to you Roy.

err sorry, I haven’t heard ( or don’t remember hearing ) anything about this, but that doesn’t mean much.
I’m a bit fully occupied with my own stuff at the moment, to pay much attention to anything else
Obviously @cows sh#t me to tears is all over it

His older brother that started greensill farms sounds genuine hard working bloke. Started with virtually nothing when he left school.
The one in trouble, sounds like trouble.. ...

@cows sh#t me to tears It looks like a cross between a kookaburra [sp.] and an owl - what is it?

 

[cows sh#t me to tears]

Just an owl. Think it's a tawny frog mouth. Seems to be the main owl we get here.

It’s a bit rich the Chinese allegedly being concerned about COVID on grapes when they started it and exported it around the globe.

Nope.......can’t say I’ve ever had that problem.
