Less hot air
OPINION: Farmers won't get any credit for this from the daily media, so Milking It is giving the bouquets where they’re due.
Every obscure occupation, gender, whatever can apply or get nominated for some supposedly good deed regardless of their ability.
And then there’s the official King’s Awards, which seem to include just about everybody but those in the farming sector.
Yes, it’s nice and fluffy etc but it’s also bloody expensive.
Going to all these awards would involve a farmer in more running around than a hard day’s yakka on a 20,000 hectare farm.
In times of austerity, are such lavish functions the best use of cash?
But rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic at least made the sinking look good!
