farmers plea with supermarkets, page-9

fefifofum, it's not just price, but quality. I want to buy Aussie food because there is a minimum set of standards to which it must be produced and I trust our farmers more than Chinese ones to adhere to them. As well as supporting our farmers. But when you buy equipment, you need to know that it will work for you. A farmer friend has Deutz tractors, but drives a Ford Territory - although that was imported too, but then Ford didn't produce what he wanted.

Aussie farmers can produce all and any of the worlds' foods we want, with our diverse climate. You can't buy Aussie made quality heavy machinery at any price - but we can pay a little bit more for good food.
