Strange bedfellows

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: This old mutt understands that Federated Farmers has recently ceased the production of its monthly publication Fed News, as the economic realities of producing the paper have hit home.

He understands that Feds have now done a deal with Farmers Weakly (sic), where it will run four pages of its spin each week.

This will be a very strange collaboration, considering FW’s pro the current government stance on things like ag emissions – which has earnt it the moniker of Farmers Wokely (sic) throughout the sector – and the Feds very strong anti-ag emissions position.

Your old mate gives it less than a year before this deal all ends in tears.
