    Thanks for watching! Let me know in the comments what you think about Nature Restoration Law and if it will be good or bad for farming in the long run.

    Great conversation!
    One thing I would add, though not necessarily the most important question here, is that people down the country have many many advantages when it comes to housing, that a Dub like me would never get. They often get preference in building homes in their area, something we never get. Plus the crazy costs. In terms of community and attachment to landscape, I have just as much a connection with my home as any country person but for us it's just accepted that you will be priced out and that's it.
    That said, I wholeheartedly support people (within reason) being able to continue to live where they grew up if they so wish.

      Thanks for your comment, Drt. That is actually a great point and once again proves that the real difference is not between rural and urban but between 'somewheres' and 'anywheres' - however one defines the two groups. And as always, thanks for watching!

    Good video, Bill said he doesn't use insecticides on farm. In his twitter account he uses anthelmintic/pour-on. Pour ons are usually avermectins. Avermectims are an insecticide which when administered are excreted in relative unchanged form and last 12 weeks. 12 weeks of insect killing on pasture..

      Thanks for watching and for your comment, Ferg. I don't know enough about insecticides or Bill's practices in such detail to be able to comment or respond. Perhaps you could ask him that question on Twitter to clarify. You can catch me there as well @outdoorspodcast.

      That's likely a smart move!
