I remember being approached by one of the big 4 about two or three years ago. They had a project and needed agricultural data as part of their report. They wanted the data/analysis for free. Their reasoning: "It will put you in good stead with us for the future"

What is your unpopular opinion on agriculture? It's interesting to see people 'debating' agricultural practices in recent days. Is there a view you have that is unpopular in the agricultural sphere? Mine is that veganism isn't a huge risk to agriculture. Let's hear them.

The Leigh Creek urea plant in South Australia seems to be moving ahead with bank support. This facility plans to produce 1mmt of urea per year. Australia tends to import around 2mmt per year. If this goes ahead it could be a gamechanger.

Why do motorcycles never appear in the climate conversation? In big cities, motorcycles/mopeds should be encouraged. They emit less, and they reduce congestion. Based on this, I think buying a Ducati would be a way for me to help the environment and reduce congestion.
