I can’t watch it again since I’m still at work. But I’m still going to creep on the discussion and see what I can remember from when I did watch it!

wouldn’t ‘t it be great if our wonderful BBC could ever broadcast stuff more like that for a bit of balance ?

A UK version of that is definitely needed to counter the Moonbat/Bonnin/BBC effect. What about crowdfunding it? Or am I being dangerously radical and it's easier to sit at home and moan about out lot in life.

And why aren’t AHDB, NFU etc spending our money commissionIng films like this to be made and shared on social media ?

I don’t think any Canadian channels have broadcast it so what’s the chances of the BBC

It would be a start if any of them watched that.

That's the point. I can't stand all this BBC bashing. It's just farming doing what it does best, blaming someone else.

well if those who should be helping are not going to I guess we have no choice but to find other ways, Not sure what kind of cost something with high production value like than would cost but crowdfund certainly could be one way to raise it

im sure it would be interesting to a big none farming audience

I hope some of the beef producers on this forum come and join in this thread, from the numbers that were fed up with the NBA's stance on climate change funds should be raised in no time. @JP1

When you think about it for just 30 seconds, we have a far easier task than does Canada. We have a densely populated country, that loves to spend its high days and holidays in the countryside, or more specifically the grazed countryside.

The countryside commission, as it then was, ran an 'eat the view' campaign. It was ahead of its time,. no-one really got it. Selling the idea that you have to eat red meat to preserve your open spaces should be as easy as falling off a log.

Yet instead we are fire-fighting a proposal from our own industry to put a £100 tax on our product. Its some sort of sick joke tbh.

It’s too much like hard work.

I thought that you had gone unusually quiet. In summary the short (12:50), very slickly produced, film was expounding how grazed grass sequesters carbon (radical!).

There won’t be much countryside left in another 10-20 years with the insatiable demand for housing and HS2 carving swathes through pristine countryside.

in 30 mins there is opportunity to ask the guys who were part of this film how they got it from concept to reality, how did they fund it etc ?

 

[Blaithin]

When you watch it, make a point of noticing the numbers.

I’ve had discussions on Twitter with farmers here that say they don’t have to protect the native prairie, there’s still lots of it around.
