16.01.2022 I do not care if I lose friends over this post, just like these animal activists who don’t care about farming families. ( the people who threaten farmers are t...he ones I’m talking about ! ) I’m a farmers daughter, who has grown up with two generations of farming before me. I’ve seen drought devastation, I’ve seen the mental affects of the hardships of farming, I’ve seen the devastation of my own father having to put down some of his stock due to ill health or dog attack. While you activists may think we enjoy seeing our stock suffer. It actually breaks our hearts. The few silent moments after hearing the shot that just ended the suffering, knowing Dad didn’t want to do it - but it had to be done. The quiet drive to the next mob hoping to some sort of god that they’re all in good health, that there’s enough feed to keep them fed, the water trough is clean, that the sheep over there that’s having trouble birthing her twins doesn’t die from pregnancy toxaemia or her lamb getting stuck. Trying to make sure her and the lambs are okay without causing more stress as you try and help her through. Eight times out of ten it’s not the ending we were all hoping for. I’ve seen the amount of times my dad is so stressed he’ll sit outside alone and planning what needs to be done next. The dinner he misses from stress or working late - 9/10 times both. The sleep he loses because there’s too much to think about. Where the sheep need to go, what paddocks we have available with water supply and feed. If there’s no feed, what are we supplying for feed. When did we have the last lot of lambs and when do we need to get them in again. Do we have fuel in the tankers, have the pigs been fed and water turned on. Are the gates shut so the sheep don’t go in and eat one of the few crops we’ve been able to grow, are we going to have enough profit to send our kids away to school, how much chemical are we going to need so the weeds don’t choke out the crops after that small rain we so desperately needed to keep any hope of a turn around. The neighbours sheep are in the crop, the fire breaks need to be done, the fence needs to be redone, the shearing shed needs new floor boards, the tractors need servicing & now the auto steer has decided it doesn’t want to work properly - more money in repairs. $30,000 worth of fuel every few weeks to keep seeding going, making sure we have everything prepared. Farming costs money - even if we don’t have the money at the time. You’re harvesting your crop thinking it might go alright, looks pretty thick in patches, pretty sad in others. Crops barely going a bag. Some going a bag. Paying royalty fees in grains, losing more money then you’re making. Freight fees , storage fees, anything you can think of usually has a fee. End of the season and you’re putting together how much you made. Barely any profit but enough to keep going next year. Hoping - just hoping it’ll be better next season. Trying to support his family with the gamble we call farming. We don’t rely on our next shift at maccas to make a quid. We rely on the rain that you can’t make happen. Putting in half the program you wanted to put in. Because it just hasn’t rained near enough to put it in the ground. Without losing more money then you’ll gain. Growing up in a farming family seeing other farmers battle the fight that can silently take so many lives. Farmers aren’t the problem with this live export debate. Do you think we put these sheep on the boat ourselves? We don’t have time. Sheep aren’t sold in shit conditions. They can’t be. They have to be certain weights, immaculate condition to be even sold. What happened on those boats - we had no idea. Nor did we have any say. They were taken off our hands - not put into. Farmers care about their stock - most just as much as their pets. You have to to be able to continue what you’re doing. So for those who swear at us, tell us it’s our fault, that we’re cruel people, that we should give up farming, our animals don’t deserve what they go through. - Take a day of the life in ours. And I promise you - you’ll shut up quickly. We are people. We have families. We have hearts. And we have feelings. We have families to support & mouths to feed. Yours actually being one. You don’t eat meat? Cool. Do you eat breads? Wraps? Drink beer? Oats for breakfast? Drink milk? Even rice milk? Oh well sorry to bring this to your attention but we provide it all. Farmers are farmers and without them you’d be a lot less better off. Yes the footage exposed was awful. Do you think since being exposed they’d continue to be treating them horrible? No. They’ve proven they’ve changed their ways & farmers are very much aware of how their stock was treated once taken off their hands. We take this stuff seriously - our lives depend on it. We aren’t happy with what happened & we sure as hell hope it hasn’t continued to happen. But honestly - give it a break. Live export is something that keeps many many Australian families running. Alive. And slowly bringing in enough money to support their own lives. You’re destroying people with the uneducated facts you’re running with. Farming families matter. My family matters & so does yours. Thank you to every farmer out there that hasn’t given up & continues to push through. With love - a grateful, farmers daughter. https://m.facebook.com/With-love-a-grateful-Farmers-Daughter-512915609138274/
