[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4368826, member: 63856"] The series of events that has led us to where we are over here (firstly, window dressing the meat industry and then abruptly pulling the rug out) led to almost instant scrambling to put a dairy cow in every acre possible. Madness. Some upside down Spain it is not! Unfortunately again, some really dodgy operators give the good ones bad press, by foolish outwintering practices on what I'm led to believe- Brits would call severe hill country. Sheep and beef men, now 'on the back tit' are providing wintering for the winter cashflow... it really is only going to end up in a pickle jar. Farming is turning into a political hot potato, and the farmer's ally is set to lose this time, will be interesting to say the very least. At least I'm ok, light animals and a roof over the heavy ones in winter - but ffs look after your soils! In the years ahead of us, well who knows, but don't go creating holes to dig yourselves out of, is the best advice I can give my mates in the UK. Greed, has got NZ farming to where it's going to be put. Our public has never been more isolated from farming, and our future has never really looked more precarious (esp the dairy and cropping, irrigated areas) [/QUOTE]
