yeah nah the banks just love keeping farmers on the hook till they drop. classic.
yep banks love a good milking. pun intended
another story about how the 'system' is failing hardworking kiwis while the real estate blokes counting their millions. wake up people.
exactly mate. they just sit back and watch the interest pile up
ffs my old man still milking at 68 cos he can't sell the place for what it's worth. crap situation
honestly who's gonna want to take over a farm these days? bloody expensive and the weather's gone nuts
sad to see. these families put everything into the land and then get squeezed out. we need more support for them
nah that's the thing, weather's always been bad but now you can't insure a crop half the time
lunchtime read. rough stuff. hope those pecks find a way through
100% it's all connected. small farmers getting pushed out while the big guys get subsidies
is this just a symptom of bigger issues like water rights and corporate farming taking over? feels like a trend
my uncle sold up last year and the bank still took half. what a joke the system is
get stuffed with that sympathy. the government doesn't care about anyone south of the bombays
