Just a bit of guy liner for me. Stopped with the lipstick a few years ago, seemed to scare the sheep.

That's true, wrangler.

And then they'll be dismissed as only there because they're female and having to get the job despite X being better but he's only a man.

That's also true. It'll do much more harm than good. It will also make your statement true in many cases where the best candidate may be overlooked in some areas just because of their gender.

There's a certain irony in doing this for gender equality, but enforcing the balance being tipped in the opposite direction will be damaging for male and female candidates.

We need to ensure no one is discriminated against for any reason in any profession but also realize that many professions will attract more men or women depending on their nature and quotas will only create discrimination.

Thing is though. Go to any Mart or co-op meeting and look at the demographics.

Mid 50's onwards men mostly.

Go to that "Women in Agriculture" annual conference and thousands of the yokes.
You'd wonder where'd they'd be normally hiding.

Trying to do a commencement notice online for new building. Any tips. It seems geared towards residential buildings not agricultural

My grandmother on my fathers side reared 7 and bossed the farm for the bones of a decade while my grandfather was in a Sanitorium and did most of that as well after he returned in poor enough health.

She was a farmer, not a woman farmer, and was treated like any other farmer.

She was one tough cookie though:D

My dad was helping a farmer fill out some forms, sitting at the kitchen table in the farmhouse. Going through expenses etc to see what could be claimed and how to work out a pension.

All the while this was going on the farmers wife was cleaning out ashes, feeding children, helping with homework, feeding pigs and hens, collecting eggs, making a tart, putting on the ham and peeling spuds, then drawing in timber for the open fire, and making more pots of tea with fresh scones. She never stopped for a moment.

Anyway as Dad was asking about dependants and if the farmer had previously had a PAYE job off the farm at some stage to see if any stamps were worked up I guess.

Anyway, Dad asked if the wife had worked a PAYE job.... the farmer said “oh no, she never worked a day in her life”.

Grass discussion group I'm kind of a member of only has one female farmer out of sixteen.

A good few years ago when I was in ag college. There were three female students out of ninety strapping ag students.

These famous female farmers keeping the show on the road might be out there but they must be staying at home??

Young lads in bed. Time to crack open a beer.

Twas very sad one of the lads, l wouldn't have known him well, but he passed away since finishing the course. His wife and 2 young kids collected the cert on his behalf. Not a dry eye in the house.

I'm the only female in my KT meeting …… the rest were inclined to try and get me to do the filling out of questionnaires etc when we were doing various activities. Our advisor put a stop to that before me!

Hey Lobster, what's up. Ya, must have watched every video at this stage. He (Jordan Peterson) always seems to hit the nail on the head with his arguments.
I'm starting to watch Joe Rogan podcasts now aswell.

Interesting article, I’ll be reading more about their enterprise.

Obviously we all can’t do this style of change but I do beleive that we can all do something to improve biodiversity on our land. Given the chance nature recovers and with enough effort biodiversity loss can be reversed.

Saw another article about that farm somewhere. The set up is something else - more like a safari park!. Must see if I can find it ...
