Plenty of clearing of farmland going on in Central Queensland for solar. Interesting that our friendly environmental activist groups rarely seem too fussed about this

I don’t know who needs to hear this. This is our business & an industry that I love. All I’m asking for is a little more understanding folks. A little more understanding & compassion for one another would go a long, long way..

I find it interesting when non-farming friends want to come & stay that it’s almost like our work is optional & we can just down tools & play host/tour guide for a week 🤷‍♂️Does anyone else get that or is it just me being antisocial? 😂

It’s a pretty ordinary time in the cattle game atm with the perfect storm of market issues/bottlenecks & relative oversupply of cattle to seasonal conditions. We need Aussies to support our beef cattle producers by throwing a steak on the bbq #showusyoursteak 🥩 🇦🇺

Hey #vegans . Like most weekends the vast majority of my time was spent ensuring the welfare of our animals. I respect your choice to have a vegan diet, please respect the choice of the majority of Australians to enjoy animal products bought to them by our leading Aus producers

I respect everyone’s choice, but please don’t think that excluding meat from your diet will help our environment. Livestock are part of the solution, providing delicious protein for our ever growing population #WorldVeganDay #yes2meat 🥩 🐮 🌎

Cattle methane emissions are part of a cycle with carbon being sequestered into the soil. @AdamCoffeyNT and @JacCoffey are working to manage their pastures to be a part of the climate solution. #cop26 #climateaction

CSIRO says 800% increase in forests burnt in Australia over the last decade due to climate change. Wouldn’t have anything to do with mismanagement of National Parks & huge fuel loads though would it..

EVERY year we’ve been here we have to fight fires coming out of the neighboring Nationa Park. When will people realise that if we lock up vast tracts of land with no cool burns or grazing pressure that they’re going to explode under the right (wrong) conditions? #AustralianFires

We need to resolve the issue of a lack of management in our National Parks. It’s a ticking time-bomb in so many ways & yet the only time we seem to talk about it is when it’s on fire, and too late.

The narrative that livestock are a major contributor to global emissions is the biggest witch hunt of our time. I’ll say it again; think about what an increase in plant-based diets require… arable land, fertiliser, chemical, water… The people giving these edicts are morons

I’d support a nuclear plant in our local Gladstone. Makes sense to build at existing coal fired location, negating the need for a swathe of new transmission lines to feed into the thousands of hectares of proposed solar panels covering prime ag land.

Corporate Australia need to have a good, hard look at themselves. A gobsmacking lack of governance paved the way for big business to support the voice despite apparent lack of shareholder support. What gives directors the right to act in this manner? Heads ought to roll

So under the new national curriculum kids are going to be taught the “virtues of a vegetarian diet”, using veg & vegan dishes, or kangaroo instead of beef for a more “sustainable diet” Who are the lobbyists & who in their right minds sign of on this garbage?
