With Western Australia’s biggest grain grower, John Nicoletti thinking of selling his 81,000 hectare properties to Qatar based company, Hassad Food I thought it would be good to understand a bit more on the Arab world. Hassad Food how has about 200,000 hectares ($500 million) of Australian land. Agriculture needs more capital investment so what are they looking for and how can we benefit with mutual cooperation? The below documentary helped me understand a bit about their world.

I never really understood China and still don’t to be honest. We are strong links to China so I guess we need to find out more. The new middle to rich class in China will be looking for quality goods. Maybe we need to be looking more at quality agriculture goods or focusing on feeding the general world population growth (quantity). What is better for Australian farmers or maybe a combination to hedge our bets?

Ron Paul’s message of liberty changed my life. We don’t need more government regulations as lobby groups from the left and the right have power to get things changed in their favour. This constant battle has to stop over other peoples resources (taxes) and the only way to stop the bickering to to reduce the role of government and let liberty take charge.

Nice short film on the reason we need others to create products. Isolationists can’t even make a pencil. Nothing wrong with being a isolationists just don’t force others to be via laws/regulations/taxes. We have some huge challenges ahead in agriculture and we need the best people in the world to solve these issues.

You might be thinking what are Bitcoins but you can find out more below. This increases flexibility for customers and they don’t have to reply on artificially inflated money.

“By cheating and deceiving his organic farming customers, Mr. Townsley took advantage of their trust and undermined the integrity of an entire industry,” said Haag. It is no different in Australia as there are organic fertiliser companies doing the same thing. Hopefully the organic community can flush out these companies so it isn’t ruined for the honest certified organic suppliers. You can find a list of good certified suppliers at http://www.ofa.org.au/ .

Great to see Kate Mason in the paper and her positive message. Instead of forcing all farmers to be free range let the customer decide. Educate the customer on the benefits of your product and the difference with the competition and fake free range. Below are come quotes from Kate.

“Our biggest challenge is getting consumer respect and understanding for what we do as farmers,” Kate said.

“On paper consumers say they want ethical, free range, organic products but there is a lack of understanding that there are higher production costs involved.

“If they want free range eggs, they also need to be willing to pay for it.

“Every dollar they spend is a vote.

“So if people can buy their eggs cheaper, how am I supposed to continue doing what I’m doing if the consumer isn’t willing to pay for it?”

She said the only way egg producers, and farmers in general, could get ahead was to be on the front foot of innovation and she hopes to uncover some advanced egg production systems on her study tour.

“The big question is how are we going to educate people to respect their food in the future?” Kate said.
