Are N.Z. Dairy Farmers Undervalued Worker's?
11:07:16 PM - 2007-03-28
ARE DAIRY FARMERS THE MOST UNDERVALUED WORKERS IN NEW ZEALAND?
A Statement made by a Dunedin Business Man and Major Dairy Farmer, presented, at a large herd conference in the South Island New Zealand last week around 21st March 2007
that dairy farmers are the most undervalued workers in New Zealand.
As a retired dairy farmers wife I back up this statement, after over 30 years out in the work force to help make ends meet and being up my five children.
The Gulf between townies and farmers are widening, there are generations growing up who have never been on a farm because they have no family connections to the rural area.
So how can the rural area, please the hearts and minds of the urban people who have no idea what happen's in the farming communities, Plus our Politicians?
It doesn't matter how hard the farming industry works to provide the clean green image that the people of New Zealand expects from the farming comunity, there is more pressure put on by some higher authorities in demand that creates so much stress on a hard working farmer with long hours working, very little hours with their children, only at night when most young one's are ready for bed, that no wonder they are looking for a easier way of life, where they have more time to spend with there family's.
Dairying is the most neglected, undervalued and most under-recognised industry in
New Zealand
by Politicians and the Public.
All farmers are becoming the whipping block for a lot of the country's ills and problems...
Blamed for every dirty river, pollutions and global warming, plus many more I could name.
Seven day's a week Dairy Farmers get up with no sleepin's like a 9 to 5 job look forward too every week, they deserve the recognition as a very valued worker in New Zealand, because they start a huge food money chain going that creates 22% of New Zealands overseas income 7% of GDP
and employs directly 50,000 people.
With lack of recognitions and ever increasing costs to run a Dairy Farm no wonder dairy farmers being the most undervalued workers's in New Zealand that they were kicking the industry and looking off shore to farm or another way to earn a income and have more time to spend with there families.

Results From Traffic Exchanges!
11:35:20 PM - 2007-03-20
DO YOU GET RESULTS FROM THE TRAFFIC EXCHANGES?
Back three or four years ago before Mozilla Firefox appeared and you started sufing with a Tab Browser you got a far better ratio signup when surfing than you do now.
Everyone is so busy clicking with 10, 15, 20 second timers, they don't even see what is in front of them, ( I know because I have found that out myself,Iam guilty of it ),only one thing on my mind, too earn credits so I can show my urls.
The only way you get a downline is being a upgraded member in the Traffic Exchanges, and you are paying for all your signup's as well as buying your credits, still not getting results from the
Traffic Exchanges.
The only one really getting, a good membership is the Program owner, and if like me use Satellite Broadband to surf, have you consider how much you spend in one month just to get maybe one member transferred to your downline?
Another thing add on the cost of earning credits advertising in a traffic exchange is your time which can add up th many hour's a month, if you are lucky enough to get a signup at all.
So the Question have you thought about it do you get results from traffic exchanges, and how much has it cost?
Have you tried Free Search Engine Submissions you could get a better signup ratio by advertising with Search Engines even if you pay for it, you still do not have to be their everyday of the month to get your Website seen.

Wetlands Help Keep N.Z. Clean and Green!
05:08:28 PM - 2007-03-07
WETLANDS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING OVER THE YEARS IN
NEW ZEALAND!
Over the past 200 years or so the number of wetlands in New Zealand have been reduced by over 90%.
A vast diversity of plants and animals has also been significantly depleted because of urban expansion and the pressure to increase agriculture production, in today's emvironment wetlands can play a critical role in the farm system, by improving water quality and acting as a water storage and flow regulator.
Wetlands can be a coastal estuary or lagoon, a fresh water lagoon, a braided river, a swamp or marsh, a high mountain bog or a large stock water dam.
Wetlands are important for New Zealand farming systems for the following reason's.
Biological, chemical and physical processes occurring in wetlands all alter water quality as water flows through it.
Flow rates are slowed down which allow sediment particles to settle out, improving water clarity.
Plant surfaces (leaves, stems and roots) offer sites for microbial activity and provide for filtration and obsorption and add oxygen to water.
The slow release of water from a wetland, maintains stream flows and ground water levels during summer or periods of drought.
As we have had for the month of February, the water for our farm comes from the high ridges to a water dam, which nearly dried up, would have left our stock with no water, the Urenui River got quite low with water also.
February 2007 rainfall was .25mm, the lowest we have recorded in the 4 years off recording rain.
Much diffrent to February 2004 when 8.20mm of rain was recorded, which brought bad flooding problems to lot's of New Zealander's not only farmers.
As writing this blog things are looking up, for the dry conditions in Okoki valley at Urenui.
March 7 2007 we have had .20mm of rain, it has made the pasture look healthly again, it will help to keep New Zealand clean and green.
Wetlands can also provide land and scenery values, food production, information for science and education, recreation and tourism opportunities. It also provides vegetation and wildlife in our Beautiful Valley in Okoki Urenui New Zealand.
