Big push on reducing emissions, reducing nitrogen/ammonia levels by force reduction in cow numbers, talk of carbon tariffs on exports (which would harm farmgate prices) and just generally a government that isn't that farmer friendly

What he said, plus alterations to water course protection, carbon credits scheme etc etc. He said there's stock farms going for 2k an acre with suicide rates increasing due to mortgage troubles. He told my brother that he didn't think her covid plan was much cop either as they are losing no end of tourist revenue. Basically she's screwing over primary industry at a time when people are going to need jobs, any kind of jobs.

I thought New Zealand would be one of the more climate friendly countries.

Be a big farms that will get a lot bigger. Think his mate works on Linton Station. Says the oldest Shepherd is 26. A lot of blokes getting out of ag. A lot of older farmers selling up while they've still got value in there asset. In my opinion she's like Blair. Regulate ag to its knees like the socialists did here.

I've been wondering if this worldwide push against Western industy has been funded by the Chinese. This coordination, probably at a UN level, is very concerning. I don't trust Boris at all.

Certainly helps that western economies are on their knees.

Trouble is that everything is for sale in the West .. what was once owned by someone in UK/USA/NZ is then owned by a foreign Bank. Can't do the same in India, China & Russia.

Yeah right

Only incredibly so ,considering New Zealand's Ag. Output is absolutely fundamental to its economy, existence even
In the humble behind the times simplistic opinion I have of it anyway



Still. They will deal with it, just have to lower their costs

Sooner or later countries will surely realise agriculture is fundamental to society or am I just naive ,,,

Almost certainly. Not until people go hungry though. Which will not be any time soon.

Its Not quite like that.

A big ship chugging along with thousands of tons will I bet be cheaper to run than the lorries that transport to and from the ports.

Definitely cheaper than running little stock boxes behind little jap pick ups or half a lorry load of corn on a grain trailer and tractor.

But thats not the point I was making above.
