It brought me to tears, you write so eloquently about such a heartwrenching time. I wish you all the best. I too am on the land and relate to all you write. We have been feeding stock for 2 years, how much longer can this go on? I worry for the men. Its so unforgiving. Here's hoping all is well with you. Hi, I have just stumbled upon your blog.

The RSPCA now implement Labor Government Policy through the Animal Care and protection act 2001 and the department of Primary Industries funds the RSPCA by having them steal stock and sell that stock for their own profit. Then they allow the RSPCA lawyers to punish those who complain with bankrupting fees. The RSPCA inspectore lie that there was a putrid smell and faeces and urine everywhere. they say the animals had urine burns on their feet. The vets then follow up saying the animals wre diseased and full of worms and had been negelcted. the sham is disgusting. look at one woman's fight at www.petmatfia.com.au make comments at www.bewarerspca.com Who would want to be a farmer with such nasty things happening to farmers?

Regardless of where you started, are, or end up. I feel your man's pain through your writing... and I reckon that ability to create some empathy in readers from God Knows Where in the world, can only reassure us that we are never alone...

]]> Comment on Who is the Farmer’s WIfe? by gary bender http://farmerswife.farmnet.com.au/about/#comment-24 gary bender Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:42:01 +0000 http://farmerswife.farmnet.com.au/about/#comment-24 I am so glad that you put your feelings down in writing. For many years I have travelled to country areas in pursuit of an interest in pig hunting. As a person born and bred in the city I have grown to love the country and the wonderful people I have come to know and make freinds with in the farming community. I felt compelled to let you know that there are many city people like my self who have seen the good times and understand the time and effort that the people in the farming community have to put in to survive in an industry reknowned for the hard knocks it delivers. I hope you can bounce back even better than before and I wish both you and your family good fortune for the future. Words in themselves dont help a lot but maybe the knowledge that people in the city are thinking, of not only your good selves, but all those hard working farming families that are struggling under the existing drought conditions may assist in some way. All the best in the future. Gary Bender. I am so glad that you put your feelings down in writing. For many years I have travelled to country areas in pursuit of an interest in pig hunting.

]]> Comment on I’m only a Farmer by Bush Babe http://farmerswife.farmnet.com.au/2008/05/18/im-only-a-farmer/#comment-22 Bush Babe Thu, 25 Sep 2008 03:48:24 +0000 http://farmerswife.farmnet.com.au/2008/05/18/im-only-a-farmer/#comment-22 Can you see me here below Ian's enormous comment?? Hello!!! So glad to hear things are starting again with something positive... my story is a little bit different to yours (well, the bits of yours I have read) in that I grew up on the land, left it for many years, and have recently returned with my own family. It was horribly drought-stricken when we arrived 18 months ago, and we wondered what the hell we had done. Then it rained. Not drought-breaking, but grass rain. It rained hope. We have cattle so its a little more forgiving than crops - as long as you still have some animals! Wishing your family health and happiness (and less stress!). Hugs BB Can you see me here below Ian’s enormous comment??
