sherwood Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Some of you half smart BMs should try being a primary producer for a while and then we just may see a change in attitude. 15 baht a kg on farm - 40 baht a kg at Lotas Seems like a good deal yes. Same the world over. Struth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canopy Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The purpose of a business is to make a profit, not to become a burden to the taxpayer. If a farmer can't figure out how to make money growing something, then don't do it and let the more efficient people do it. Simple as that. The government should offer career counseling to farmers that cannot figure out how make money, not handouts that stagnates farming into inefficiency resulting in higher food prices for everyone and government waste.

Not so long ago in UK some city schools were taken on a countryside/farm visit and many were horrified to find out that steak, chops etc came from animals that had to be killed.
