Livestock Truck Collisions with Train | Vegan Supermarket Protest | Are Farmers Judged for Not Diversifying? | Agsolutley Fabulous Ep.49
Welcome back to Episode 49 of Agsolutley Fabulous! We’re inching toward the big 5-0 and we couldn’t have done it without YOU — our amazing rural and ag-loving community.
This week we cover a mix of hard-hitting news and thought-provoking topics:
🚛 Topic 1: Full Livestock Truck Collision A devastating accident involving a full livestock truck colliding with a train — we unpack what happened, the impact on those involved, and the ripple effects for the wider farming and transport community.
🌹 Topic 2: Vegans Laying Roses in Supermarkets Viral footage shows vegan activists laying roses in the meat section of major supermarkets. We talk about what this means for the ag industry, how farmers feel about these protests, and the importance of respectful conversations around food production.
🎙️ Topic 3: Sally’s Question – Are Farmers Being Judged for Not Diversifying? Inspired by Clarkson’s Farm, listener Sally asks:
“Do city viewers think farmers can just switch enterprises overnight?” We share our take on farm diversification, the real costs and timeframes, and why diversification isn’t as simple as it looks on screen.
🐝 Topic 4: Varroa Mite Reaches Victoria Biosecurity alert! The Varroa mite has now been detected in Victorian hives. We look at what this means for local beekeepers, pollination services, and future honey production.
🤠 Topic 5: For Ringers in Need – Grant Access We shine a spotlight on an incredible initiative supporting ringers and ag workers doing it tough.
