One side Wins other looses!!!!!

Sorry my message was not very concise, a bit of a rant - sorry. I am agreeing agriculture is tough, no doubt about it. There will continue to be lots of young people leaving the industry. There are some people who have been successful out there, but their success gets overshadowed by all the other people pointing out all the problems...

I think our messaging is wrong about the problems, lots of poor attitudes, and the young folk will pick up on that in a hurry. If we are just complaining about it, we don't deserve help. If we are trying to add to solultions than we should start sending a clear message out. I am not sure it is possible to start looking at the opportunities for solutions if you have no positive thoughts that there is a hope things could ever get better? Yes, none of this will help after the fact, that your bins are empty and they shouldn't be, but have to find a solution to that problem to in order to survive.

I agree with that whole heartedly there has to be a solution to this mess. I am just saying sitting there with a smile on without doing something about it doesn't do anything good. Young people and old are leaving and after this last flood for us I am pretty sure we are done also, there is just nothing coming from these programs. We never used to need any help prior to these years that are just unbelievable. Not to begrudge those with the margins but no way just because mainly weather was good they will take home huge amounts and the areas of several disasters nothing that's not right at all.
