Pro-vegetarian propaganda
December 3rd, 2009Anyone who underestimates the amount of misinformation being spread by pro-vegetarian extremists, should check out ‘Save Our Planet Be Vegan’ on YouTube. It’s so inaccurate and alarmist it would be funny if it were not for the unfortunate reality that there are urban residents with absolutely no first hand knowledge of farming or farmers, who […]
Want to find out what it’s like living on a farm? Read the blogs.
November 29th, 2009Stumbled upon an excellent blog today, called ‘Bush Belle’ written by a woman who lives on a sheep property in NSW. The links to other blogs written by people living on the land led to a whole chain of farm life-related blog recommendations in Australia and elsewhere. Such as ‘Raising Country kids’ (USA) and ‘Smiling […]

November 25th, 2009I have nearly run out of the advance copies of the new book ‘Life as an Australian Horseman’; so anyone who is thinking of ordering one to be mailed to an address outside Australia should order ASAP to ensure delivery before Christmas.

Tackling the fairyland claims of extremist environmentalists
November 24th, 2009Ian Mott takes Jennifer Marohasy to task regarding her sweeping claims of cattle damaging the environment on her blog. Have a read and a think about what they both have to say. Jennifer is a classic example of someone who is absolutely determined to push a very specific barrow, despite whatever evidence may exist to […]
Global Warming – Kevin look out for a volcanic eruption
November 19th, 2009Kevin is entertaining, isn’t he? ‘Record high temperatures in southern Australia are evidence of global warming’. Right-o Kevin. Up here we’ve had what must be record cool temperatures for the last couple of months. Today I have been able to wear a t-shirt with short sleeves, and I can’t ever remember being able to do […]
