So many #ausag apologists for trump -‘albo and Rudd should be nicer’ etc etc. let’s try standing up for our own interests

Why are farmers screaming right now? It isn't just grain price. Fert/corn ratio some of the worst in history. Farmers spending huge amount on next inputs: Urea - 3rd worst UAN - 2nd worst DAP - worst Potash - only "middle ground" value today
