Farmers don't deserve shit. They're a business just like any other. They get coddled more than any other business in Australia, if this were any other country we'd tell them to get fucked.
We export 80-90% of our produce. You're literally just giving farmers money for no reason other than they want gibs. Australia goes through a drought every 7-10 years, farmers literally save for this.

I want a handout as compensation for the chink invasion.
This, fuck the farmers. >sell produce overseas for cheap to chinks in huge quantities >sell locally for three times the price I hope all their crops die and the greedy fucks lose their livelyhood.

>*makes absurd money in the boom years* >what, there's a tried and tested pattern of el nino weather in Australia >GIBS ME DAT MONEY Farmers are scum.
Gavin Ortiz
we should nationilize the farms for great glory of mother land
I remember reading a twitter thread about this. I'm pretty sure it said that animals are better when you have little water, but in return have lower nutritional yield, while plants require lots of water but have very high yield.
Jacob Allen
It's kinda fucked though. A lot of farms are leased or mortgaged heavily, it's only the super big corporation owned ones that aren't.
They are very scummish. And it's ridiculous that Australian's still fall for it. Lamb has been selling for record highs at market recently. The only reason they are upset is that the drought is cutting into their profits. >A lot of farms are leased or mortgaged heavily For taxation reasons, not for anything else.

>Move farms to the NT >NT farms aren't even profitable for government subsidized agencies
Bring back the bush. Sick of baldy bitches. I like women.

Tonight had a beef curry. Was actually fucking nice as fuck. Been learning how to cook recently. It's not too hard when you have a slow cooker, just chuck everything in and your done.
Gabriel Collins

Daniel Powell
Alright boys grab your shovels, we're going to knock Melbourne to the ground so the farmers can move there.
William Kelly
I should do that. Cooking is pretty easy, just chop shit up and cook it.
Luis Phillips
I've came 4 or 5 times today so its a bit sore, it'll take a while to warm up. what flag is that?
>just chop shit up and cook it. With a slow cooker it's so much easier desu. You prepare the food the night before, set a timer for when you want it to start cooking (I usually like mine to cook for 4 hours and eat at 5 o'clock, so I set the slow cooker to start at 1 o'clock). Then all you do is eat. The most you have to do is cook rice up if your meal needs rice (curry).
