Canola exports at risk unless farmers phase out essential and legal chemicalEuropean buyers have ordered Australian farmers to stop using the insecticide omethoate on their crops if they want to keep selling into the market. Gotta say I feel like I’m with the EU on this. Why the use of ‘Essential’ in the headline? If consumers won’t buy products grown with those chemicals then why woul the EU want to buy it from growers. It’s called demand and supply. Silly headline. Who told you to spin it like this?

This farmer gives neighbourhood walkers hi-vis vests for road safetyLaunceston farmer Ian Farquher finds a unique way to help people out during pandemic-induced isolation: handing out high-visibility vests to neighbours keeping fit by walking.
