This is bullshit, farmers on the whole take excellent care of their land - it is in their interest to do so. Family farmers especially, who generally want to pass the farm down to their kids, will always put the long term health of the land over short term profit. To suggest otherwise is based on 19th century caricatures peddled as if they are present reality. And there is a hell of a lot of government regulation and bureaucratic hurdles, the idea that farmers have free rein to do whatever they want is another outdated caricature.

Well Till.................i have been both a pastoralist and farmer.......................

And if you ever want to take a drive through some of the wheatbelt here in WA you can go many miles without seeing a tree............

Environmental vandalism.............(hey some farmers/pastoralists are doing a great job).....................

But I have spent many years in agriculture and what we are doing to the land is unsustainable.
