Monsanto don't have to make it cheaper. They know how much money a farmer will save by having bug resistant crops that can be sprayed for weeds with roundup, so they charge what they know a farmer will pay. Of course the farmer doesn't have to use monsanto's product, but they all do. Monsanto...

Global warming could very well increase global food production. Global cooling has always been disasterous and causes famine historically, so warming should be better despite the propoganda campain. It's forecast that I will get wetter summers and dryer winters, so I'd be happy with that, and...

The Libs won last year, 2032. They have a popular young bloke in there, Mr Nathan Birch, tall impressive looking fello, was a successfull businessman and developer from Sydney, multi-millionaire. Seems to be doing a great job, and fixed a few things up that the labor/greens coallition ballsed up...

Wheat went limit up again! Amazing. Into the $8 per bushel now, from $4.50 or so. The fundamentals don't seem to be there of a repeat of the last grain boom in 07/08. There is more stocks in reserve now than last time. Maybe russias crop is a lot worse than reports. Apparently they banned...

Yeah, I'd probably sell out if offered twice what my land was worth which seems to be the going rate. Most are taking it. But keep it to your self for flips sake eh. See ya's.

I'd have sold out too if I was offered 2 times what the dirt was worth and was going to be living 500 metres away from a coal mine. The biggest critic is Anderson, who is on the board of a coal seem gas mob. :D :p See ya's.

You were right about our local member selling out eh? You must get all the goss..:D See ya's.

Your probably right Bill. I just wanted to keep my hypothetical situation based on food and grain rather than oil. Keep it simple. Add oil shortage to the mix and it gets far worse. A food shortage crisis wont be as frightening as an oil shortage one. A food shortage will mainly effect...

What are the odds for sunfish..?? :D See ya's.

Topcropper sold out to Chinese interests in 2023 after none of his daughters or son-in-laws showed interest in the farm. Got a motsa. Retired to his Macmansion high up in the hills overlooking the Liverpool Plains, although he also spends plenty of time fishing for bass at his Lifestyle farm on...

It's sunny and warm today. I took this photo this morning,..... A cow on some oats. Behind that, the mist is coming off the newly planted wheat paddock. Took it from my loungeroom. The rain did stop when I hoped it would. I think most of the wheat, 99% will come up, but...

Some of my forecasts are more fact than fiction. The population forecasts are all out there. It's generally accepted that Africa is going to 2 billion from todays 1 billion. Lots of African countries have doubled their populations in a generation, and will do it again in another. It's...

It's not effecting Australia directly. There is still a huge food surplus in Australia, and Aussie farmers are making a killing, although our grain reserves are being shipped to Africa as quickly as possible even though no one knows who will pay for it. There might be millions of refugees...

Ooops. :D Multiply by 100. See ya's.

Just a hypothetical here, but it's something I expect to see in my lifetime. I'm just wondering what people would decide to do. It's August 2033. The US and China and India and most of Asia have stable populations that have stopped growing. India's population pulled up at 1.4 billion...
