Agricultural argy-bargy.

From the Herald Sun, Thursday, February 21, 2008.

"Farmers plan pipe fight."

Whatever happened to the Marquis of Queensberry rules?

I don't know about you, but I find the image of irate farmers gathered in a paddock somewhere, angrily wielding lengths of piping, a bit disturbing. And what brought all this about? Was it some dispute over water rights? Perhaps there were some accusations of cattle duffing flying around?

And where are the police in this matter? Have they taken steps to prevent this spot of biffo, or have they found the manpower required to be too much of a drain on their resources, and will just watch to make sure no innocents get hurt?

I know farmers can be a bit boisterous, and tend to deal with things in their own way, but really.

Free cars for Foster Parents 2024 I found this article really insightful. It sheds light on the complexities of the meat industry and the challenges faced by butchers. The author's perspective on the agricultural aspects of the business is particularly interesting. I'd love to hear more about the specific challenges butchers face in sourcing quality meat.
