    Statics

    I got a HD in Stat but it was honestly the worst subject I have ever, ever done (excluding maybe english and useless subjects like that back in school). So dry and boring and our lecturer was shithouse (must be something about statisticians), she did try to make it seem relevant by including...

    Farm product report - wool

    OK, here is a rough flow chart to give you an idea, you can add to it as you see fit- Shearing (with a side arrow showing shearers wages and any other outputs)---> Transport (fuel, wages etc)---> Warehouse/Wholesaler---> Sale (by auction usually, if there is a contract then you can pretty...

The sheep wears a net to catch the wool. It is value adding because there is a uniform staple length and no flesh/blood etc...

    Wireless Fencing

    Forgive my ignorance, but whats the point? It would be a lot more expensive and time consuming to rip trenches all through your paddocks, lay an underground wire and collar every single one of you livestock. What happens when a calf walks over the wire and can't feel it due to not being collared...

    Socio-economic factors

    How about the goverment closing down half of the CSIRO and DPI because we don't really need research into those things. Or NSW (Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong ) syndrome, when everyone knows that Australia only extends about 20km inland. The fact that everyone looks down on rural Australia and...

    who believes religion is out dated

    He doesn't start existing because a bunch of crackpots believe in him either... You really would have to be dumb to honestly believe that a big friendly imaginary friend in the sky exists to look after you and give you somewhere to go after you die... Hey sure we have miles of evidence for...

    17, pregnant, yr 12 next year.. what do i do?

    If she already knows the sex of the baby its too late for an abortion... I am not against abortion, killing a bundle of partially differentiated cells is not evil, but if the sex is already identifiable (how can it be at only 8 weeks- June is 7 months away so she can only be about 8 weeks...

    Puppy tortured and hacked before being killed :(

    People need to keep it in perspective a little. Yes the morons who did it are most likely fucked in the head and have severe issues, but for fuck's sake it was just a dog! If you want to get into a lather about things like that how about concentrating on the millions of PEOPLE who are tortured...

    Advances in technology

    I'm pretty sure that's fine to use. Explain how it allows for a higher class of product as production is not stunted by disease etc. Also how the losses to the producer have been drastically decreased etc etc (thats a bit off topic). Maybe it wouldn't hurt to mention witholding periods if the...

    BSc means UNEMPLOYMENT, true or false?

    I'm not even going to get into that argument, I'll just say its about time people realised there's a hell of a lot of country outside of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and that food does not just magically appear on supermarket shelves...

    BSc means UNEMPLOYMENT, true or false?

    If you want employment, think about BSc majoring in Agriculture. In a recent study (can't remember who by) it was found that in Australia there are around 800 tertiary Agriculture graduates a year and around 2000 vacant jobs in this field. Everyone is crying out for agronomists in almost all...
