One Farmers point of view

[paulrbarnard]

It's more that we know that the right are always wrong. The right look for excuses for not doing things. The blame game is popular. Or economical theories which are supposed to pay off years later, such as de-regulating, or encouraging growth.
The left don't need a theory - we just know that things have to be done a.s.a.p.

Well left is sinister

In my lifetimes experience as a farmer I have learnt one thing, and that is, you cannot cheat nature without dire consequence.

Before being swept along with the latest media pedalled campaigns, please consider these powerful agendas very carefully, allow common sense to prevail and put your trust in the ancient ways of mother nature.

Haven't farmers been messing with 'nature' since, well, farming started? And as we see in many ways, often with pretty terrible consequences?

And I get that people are concerned when a new substance is added to dairy cattle feed, but are those people putting the same diligence into questioning all the other substances we add (intentionally and otherwise) into the food chain? There are rather a lot, many bi-products of the industrial processes that have caused the problem that Bovaer seeks to address.

That’s interesting that the FSA permit an ingredient of less than 2% not to be listed. Are you sure it’s correct as just looking at the packaging of a few items they all seem to have items listed with 0.1 and 0.2g per 100g ingredients?

Will ask the wife for t'were she who told me.

I can still see no reason why dairy products shouldn't be labelled properly if they contain the oil by-product and so let people make their own choice.
