[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 4173058, member: 71668"] yes indeed, horses for courses. We produce bulk generic commodities, for an export market, so low population density doesn't affect us much. My gratefulness is personal, I have farmed in the UK & am very aware of issues relating to townie neighbours, footpaths, dog walkers, moving equipment down narrow roads etc etc. Our low population however does make it difficult to diversify our industry to say, branded niche products - although some people do make a success of it. I believe in an area with high population density it would open up all sorts of opportunities for diversification & selling direct to the consumer As you say, horses for courses. The trick is being able to see the advantages or opportunities in your own location & capitalise on them [/QUOTE]
