#67 Challenges, and Change: Navigating Life and Livestock on the Farm
In episode 67 of Agsolutely Fabulous, Gillian and Katja catch up on station life and current issues: Gillian’s new chicks have moved to the chicken house as she tries to identify roosters versus hens and avoid integrating bad egg-eating habits; Katja updates on kids’ end-of-term fatigue, activities, and interest in adding music (possibly drums), plus her own marching band and flute background.
They discuss a reel about bacon being classified among carcinogens but emphasize dose and seeking professional health advice. The conversation turns serious to workplace harassment in rural/ag settings, the need for leaders to acknowledge it, bystanders to act, and Gillian’s involvement in an NFF-related social media incident being handled internally. They give motorists advice for safely passing cattle on roads during dry conditions. They also cover solar/renewable project decommissioning risks when companies go bankrupt, urging bonds and strong contracts, and finish with ABS income statistics showing regional households earn less while often paying more, plus upcoming events, a new burnout-boundaries course, and newsletter/socials.Thank you for being part of this incredible community.
