Hello readers. I am frustrated in that Stock Market platform will not let me in . I see something is up in that 2 of the Indices i watch have been condensed . 1, 5 times. The other doubled. H,mm Big tails at the bottom of the curve, which make possible investing abit cautious.
You will remember i talked of the demise of Regional Councils a while back. Seems Fed Farmers have finally decided to grow some balls and come round to my way of thinking. This is after they fought me tooth and nail over this issue in my council days. But there it is pg 20 Farmers Weekly Oct 7th 2024. Time to consider change to local Govt structures. Rates. At the same time farmers are frustrated with a local government system that grows increasingly ideological ,divided, and removed from reality. Fed Local Govt spokesperson may have not been around way back in my day, and would be quite embarrassed to here me say so. But about time. What is she or should i say, the Feds saying. “Time for conservations about Unitary Authorities.” Now i do not want to be silly, but has the Coalition Govt told them to get their butts into gear and start pushing the discussion. I say, Ian McKelvie, as i have already written, said National had plans for regional councils.
.Jardons carbon market update talks of investment laws being relaxed to attract foreign capital. To boost productivity growth.? What in carbon farming? After all it is a carbon report. The Coalition Govt is still full on okaying farmland for the afore said.
So just how much N is leached into the soil. from grazed plantain. Agri Search scientists are annoyed because because they claim their research found cows excrete up to 1000kg N/hec/ann. A New report by Dr Jacqueline Rowarth and Dr Greame Coles says their research can only measure 250kg N/hec//ann. But that there is relatively zero N losses from pasture??? Blow me down. What the hell is going on. No wonder the Agri Search guys are jumping about. How much were they paid for their research? $22 million. All very quite on this subject. These guys are bleating that down playing N losses presents farmers and policy makers with a confusing and unhelpful picture of Urine N,s role in water quality management. Hmm. Water quality management. Bet we do not hear any more of this. pg 4 Farmers Weekly Oct 21st 2024.
Govt quasi body. Funded partially by Govt ministry’s. Fish and Game plus Forest and Bird took Court Action against Environment Southland Land and Water Plan, Won, Meaning all farmers now have to get a resource consent to farm. Farmers are furious. Blocking access to rivers and streams Right across NZ. Fish and Game CEO Corina Jordan says ,Lets shake hands. Never our intention? Fish and game wants to improve the combative relationship with farmers. Funny way of going about it. Same person who left Fish and Game sometime ago to work for Beef and Lamb. There she is back in the old club house. Just what did Beef and lamb see in her. Time the Govt called off its dog. Think back to Jardons carbon report above. Obviously the foreign capital Govt hopes to attract is not for Agriculture. Readers may take issue with what i am quoting here but get real Open your eyes. A leopard does not change its spots.
I heard John Keys commentary on Trumps win in America. The end of climate change rhetoric policies. World wide push back?. A Internet site i subscribe to , published a opinion dated the 25/10/24. This is before the election. The year Global Warming Ends. Well it may not end but policy may. The opinion piece put the cost to the American economy to reach net zero by 2050 at $275 trillion. Here in NZ we are already at the financial rock face, with no where to go. As i have reported in previous a post. Technology will save the economy. Tech. Sea weed added to cows feed? yea right. If the rest of the world has moved back to economic sanity, we will be left looking pretty stupid. Our Govt has spent $22million just on the research described above re N losses. Not to mention all the methane research, forestry grants via the sustainable land use funding via regional and district council plans. I am sure there are many more $millions spent else where. And what have we got. Huge costs to the rate and tax payers with regards to loss of assets and infrastructure as a consequence of fires, flooding and heavy rainfall events. The world wide Green Scam could well be coming to a end. Where will that leave our treaty settlement process. Could Act already be laying the foundations for such a end here in NZ. If so then why would National, Winny and Shane not support Principles bill before the house. Or is the settlement process and the outcomes sought the reason ?.
Bye
