What's happening over at The Farmers Club?

By Dwain Duxson

• Our latest writings:

• We wrote about how tough the 1990’s were for Farming. But what about the 2000s?

• We hear of the demise of the Roadhouse so much so that many Truckies take their own food with them these days.

• It’s the uncertainty that makes Farmers anxious. We see it when their expensive Machines break down, and they don’t know what the repair cost will be.

• We wrote about the most fractured relationships in Ag. You could say they haven't been getting on for some time.

• Are data centres the new transmission lines? We elaborate.

• It takes a unique person to make it big in Ag. We outline one operator that has made it to the top.

• Our guest contributor, Vic Hoffmann Dohle, writes about how red tape and unnecessary administration are pissing Farmers off.

• The AI webinar hosted by Alice Mabin was huge, but yours truly forgot to record it. So we are doing it again next Saturday.

• AI worked out a Property purchase in seconds.

• Is AI the death of the Farm Consultant? We don’t think so. Not yet anyway….

• Our guest contributor, Bec Lindert, writes about the disappointing withdrawal of funding for the Inland Rain project.

• Have a great Saturday, and subscribe to keep yourself fully up to date.
