RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 02/25/18 > Livestock shows and FFA what you probably don’t know…

Most interesting post mr Papper, I don't think we have an organisation like that here in South Africa, do believe this would be beneficial but we have other issues here with talks of land redistribution, our new president spoke of land expropriation with no compensation but only where land is not being used correctly. My niece is married to a dairy farmer and their sons go to an agricultural school but Dad tells his sons not to become dairy farmers unlike his father and grandfather who believed it was the natural thing for the son/s to follow in their footsteps. So will they sell the family farm one day, probably, and very likely more and more South African farms will also be owned by big corporates, but the government do help emerging black farmers. We all need food so hopefully this vital issue is handled correctly.

Yes, it might be a good idea over there, when the big corporations start taking things over they start with stuff like GMO's and then you have no idea what you are eating. The even make it where the seeds are patented and the farmer can't keep any of his crop for the next season plantings. He has to purchase new seed from an authorized seed dealer.
