#HNY: $2M/Ha to enter the property market in Red Hill, in the #greenwedge of #VFFPeninsula farming district!
🤠 How do #Vicfarmers (young or emerging) fundraise to farm?
Why is @MornPenShire @VicCouncils & @REIVictoria happily steering Victoria towards #foodinsecurity?
#springst
How do peri-urban regions of Australia, expect to retain #farmland + an agricultural industry, which helps to fund municipal budgets for community infrastructure eg: footy ovals; if #FARMERS cannot afford to #farm?
Eg: Buy a 12.14ha #VFFPeninsula farm.
Bids start at $25M! #ausag

The VFF is engaging with @VicGovAu managing climate change and emissions intensity within the agriculture sector. Our message to government is clear. Government has a responsibility to give farmers the tools needed to measure emissions.

Simon Crean told the parliament in the presence of Pres Bush that the true measure of friendship was to tell a friend when they were wrong. And they were wrong on the Iraq war. He was right. Yet he became the only Labor leader never to contest an election.
