[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6597284, member: 2119"] It's an aside but it isn't it also true that this big media sphere of perception, thought, discussion and general so called consensus is often quite different to what we (both public and farmers) actually do, prioritise and experience on a daily basis. I reckon "cows belching methane" doesn't really feature on the radar for 99% of us. But there seems to be 1% who build their lives around making a noise about it like they are some kind of self appointed messiah saviours of the world. Similarly I hear pronouncements from the NFU on grand visions for carbon neutrality by 2040. Well maybe, but my priority this week is to rebuild my beet harvester gearbox. Next week it will be some other similar mundane practical matter. All the media stuff is just froth and noise from people who have too much time on their hands. Most of their pronouncements are so abstract, so theoretical, so esoteric and idealistic that really they are irrelevant to the daily struggle to earn a crust. It's like these media and news people live in a world of virtual reality. Yes I'm concerned about global warming etc, and I'll do what I can to help, but I get sick of hearing single issue one sided media campaigns that really are an academic luxury for people with nothing better to do.
