Cuddling cows
OPINION: Years of floods and low food prices have driven a dairy farm in England's northeast to stop milking its cows and instead charge visitors to cuddle them.
A townie mate of Milking It, well known in the Auckland hospitality scene, summed up the recent government decision on farm emissions nicely, saying, "So, the government thought it was ok to destroy hospo & tourism by drastically reducing labour supply, now they're destroying the rural sector. Who exactly do they think is going to re-elect them? There's only so many media sycophants and state servants out there!"
As for the PM's brag that their fart tax is a 'world first', another mate opined, "It's a world first because no other government has been stupid enough, yet".
And lastly, from a Southland farmer, "Now, what did that Paris Accord say again?"
It said, reduce emissions but not at the expense of food production.
