Question 1.
Don (Cattle Grazier QLD) asks.
Steve,
You may know someone.
There have been changes in Super whereby through self managed funds they can be used on your property etc
I am trying to expand and undertake improvements on my property but the banks are only allowing these provisions to the big end of town & keep telling me it isn’t available.
My accountant tells me it should be able to be used but no lending institution have developed a product.
Do you know anyone?
Question 2.
Jenny. (Horse Breeder Victoria) asks:
Steve,
do you know anyone who could explain what ‘aflatoxins’ are and how they are introduced to feed stuffs? Have Just Seen this on a US Chat site and want to know anbody knows anything.“I just called my feed store, and they confirmed that this was true, Purina has recalled many of their feeds due to the potential aflatoxins as a “precautionary measure”.”
Question 3:
Rosalie from South Australia asks
Dear Steve,
Greetings! I was talking to a young person about the hot topic of “Prescribing” catchment areas. They said “What’s the problem? It’ not going effect you farmers. It hasn’t anywhere else in Australia. You won’t have to pay for your stock water. It will make it better for everyone….”I was speechless. Have any farmers, apart from irrigators, been effected by this legislation? The erosion of property rights meant nothing to this person, and they thought that we dryland farmers were creating a stink about nothing in resisting Prescription. What are your thoughts?
Thank you,
Rosalie
