okay lets us talk english that queen can understand

Afrikaans proe dan so lekker opi tong.

Thank you for the consideration @Meerkat_RSA

Sorry didnt realise you didnt understand

Zombie Queen. Still love you bae.

Im ssaying it is very dry this season

Farmers are behind schedule

@ZombieQueen shouldn't ya be working

It's not a problem at all really, Meerkat is just being courteous. He knows I'm trying to learn a bit of Afrikaans as it is, so.

where you from?\

@ZombieQueen lets start at the swear words....

Fokken

poes

America. Alabama to be more specific. @Voortrekker

thats not a nice thing to teach a lady

@Voortrekker . Going to the river house for the holiday. But apparently the farmers nearby are allso feeling the drought. My concern is they are going to have to suck the river dry to maintain their crops.

poes means pussy, you say it like puss

ma se poes

sorry that is one of the most offenisive swear words in afrikaans

@BraaiBroodjie Yes and also if they take it from the rivir the possibility for crop desease is high, as the Vaal is polluted it runs into the Oranje aswell

We reeds situated next to the Vaal.

Cant there be one day that furries arent mentioned in this server? @Meerkat_RSA

💔

Wishful thinking

@Voortrekker i allready has in voice chat. furries are a cancer and people need to talk about cancer

Makes sense

@Voortrekker. I honestly think next year is going to test the sustainability of our food security.

It might, the east is done planting, they have higher yields but the bulk of SA pap comes from Western Transvaal

GG @Voortrekker, you just advanced to level 3!

I can easily see lamb prices going R250/1Kg

Here in the Karoo shit is getting tight.

The kak part about droughts is, it is not only the farmer who suffers. 1 Farmer pays for services from
1.Fertilizer rep
2.Pesticide/Crop Protection Rep
3. Seed Rep
4.Maize Trader
5.Diesel rep
6.Animal medicine rep if he has animals
7.Tractors and implements rep
8. Not to mention all the small bussiness in town i.e family restaurants

All that adds to food pricing.

no, the food pricing gets added from the abatoir and packaging afterwards

the farmer doesnt decide the price

the farmer is a price taker

Yes but allot of farmers in the area sell their own meat.

unless its a niche market

yes true, but way cheaper than in P&P

True. But the quality is not up to parr
