High grain and meat prices have farmers confident in another good year

Young Victorian dairy farmers Melanie and Paul Ackerley are bucking a range of industry trends on their farm, 160 kilometres south-west of Melbourne.Farmgate milk, sheepmeat, beef, and grain prices are all at high levelsThe dairy industry is shrinking. It has lost 20 per cent of its farmers in the five years since the Ackerleys bought their farm in 2017.

The national commodity forecaster ABARES projected average dairy farm incomes to rise 35 per cent to $338,000 per farm in 2021-22, and again next year, thanks to higher farmgate milk prices. And with wheat at $450/t Ms Warne could see the rationale in paying $1,300/t for fertiliser this year. "For instance, last year I paid on average $750/t for urea for the farm and I thought that was very dear."

Saleyard prices are expected to decline in the coming 12 months, and ABARES estimates the value of beef and sheepmeat exports to drop by around one per cent to $25 billion in 2022-23. In the 12 months to February 2022 its members lent $4.3 billion to agriculture, forestry, and fishery businesses, a 30 per cent rise on the previous 12 months.

ABC, please report how IPCC actually 'attributes' climate extreme to climate change. Note, IPCC report indicated the modelling for such 'climate extreme attribution' is based on 'very, very, very large caveats,' Not to deny climate change but tell 'the WHOLE story'. 2/2

Best joke ever. Just the other days, these farmers complained the reason for increasing the price significantly, in Tassie for potato no less, is because of climate extreme, being too dry, being too wet, being too hot, being too cold, like throwing the whole kitchen sink. 1/2

Ok but what about NORCO ice cream ? They might be shutting up shop in Lismore / Northern rivers.

JUST DON'T SAY FOOD SHORTAGES!!

you know what another word for 'high grain and meat prices' is? Inflation. What does it cause? Cost of living pressure. Celebrating higher prices while simultaneously bemoaning higher prices is the sort of thing I'd expect from Sky 'News'.

Pity none of the farmers are actually benefiting from rising food costs.
