Pity Joe public wouldn't respect the farmer a little more instead of looking at us like we have 2 heads

They need to get out more and live life:D

Your dead right. That was my point. A few national advertisements painting us in a favourable light and depicting the real reality of what we do everyday to keep food in their tables might make them realise how precious and necessary we really are.

I think the public have become very detached from the source of where food comes from. Can you imagine if there was a big government run open farm (like Dublin Zoo) where Mr and Mrs joe public could bring their kid's to see where their food is produced..... I think it'd raise awareness and appreciation levels no end.... possibly:rolleyes:
