Foundation member - With our price changes that are going to occur at midnight on Saturday, February 1st, we have decided to change things a little. Before we said, if you sign up before the above date, we will freeze the current $40 + GST rate for 2 years minimum. We have spoken to management, and they have allowed us to change it again. Here's the new deal: if you sign up before the date above, you will become a "Foundation Member," and we will freeze the $40 rate for life. We intend to be around for 10, maybe 20 years, and we are about rewarding loyalty, so become a "Foundation Member" today.
Get in before the price rise - We are putting our monthly subscription price up from $40 + GST to $45 + GST on February 1st. But if you subscriber before then, we promise to freeze the $40 + GST price for at least 2 years (24 months), maybe longer. So if you have been thinking about signing up one day, now is the time. After February 1, we will also be reducing this free version from 6 days to 2 days a week. Head to the bottom of the page and click upgrade, or if you are having any issues subscribing, ring, text or email (see below), and I can help you out.
We had a subscriber call in to our place on Saturday morning, bit of a random thing, as he got diverted off the Calder Freeway because of the Harcourt fire, ended up on our road, recognised the "Fook Farm" sign on the Woolshed, and turned around. We just so happened to be walking down the drive at the time, so we met and had a good chat. They were off to the Big Bash in Melbourne with their 3 boys, and his wife was saying, "He's always telling me about the things he reads in the newsletter". That's what we mean when we say that you become the influencer. That's a great example. If you're informed with up-to-date, relevant knowledge on a daily basis, you become the person relaying that information to others.
One of our stories today is on the subject of making rules that are at right angles with mainstream thinking. Another story is about wanting to be respected as a Farmer or a worker, and how that drives standards. The last story is about these bad fire days and how I think authorities don't put enough emphasis on what happens when the inevitable wind change arrives. All interesting
Have a great Tuesday, and remember to subscribe to be a "Foundation Member".
