What’s in today’s paid edition? - See below

• What's the green line? The green line is Farming success. We have a mission to keep our subscribers on the green line. See what we mean about the green line can be viewed in an illustration at the bottom of the page. Take a look. We angle our stories to plant ideas that can lead to change and improvement. The stories might not be right, or you might not agree with the context, but that's not the point. The point is that there might be something you could take away from the story. It's one of those things where you can take it or leave it and move on to the next. Subscribe, and we'll try and keep you on the green line.

• Are you a glutten for quality info? We are finding that Farmers are attending events in record numbers. But not any old events. Events that are really targeted on a subject where Farmers can improve their businesses. We wrote about it today and outlined a couple of examples.

• As humans, do we have to be confrontational all the time? Ben Duxson, who is the unofficial spokesperson in the fight to stop the transmission lines running through his and other Farmers' properties, said in the podcast how someone pulled him up and asked him if he really wanted to have the verbal stoush he was about to enter into. What that person said got him thinking about his approach to the debate or the fight. It's interesting what he said. We write about it today.

• Is this the new Landline? Ollie Le Lievre is a bit of an Ag celebrity. The creator of the Humans of Agriculture business is about to step into a new program that might just become the new Landline. He released his first edition recently and plans to do one a month and then one a week. We write about his foray into TV today.

• New Zealand Farming is changing, and many Kiwis think it is for the worse. Forestry is replacing other more traditional forms of Agriculture, and many are worried that once you go down the Forestry/Carbon credit route, there is no turning back. You can read more in a bunch of snippets we put up in today's edition. Subscribe, and I will send it to you.

• Have a great Monday.
