G'day, this is Off The Land with Rob – real talk from a NSW cattle farmer about rural Australian life.Fish prices have doubled right before Easter because diesel costs are crushing commercial fishers at the worst possible time. Families are copping it at the shops for Good Friday prawns and flathead. It's not politics – it's just maths.In Episode 1 I also cover:• Government boasting a record $100 billion farm output… while quietly pushing to lock up millions of hectares of productive farmland for carbon trees• The massive surge in "illegal tree clearing" complaints and the ridiculous red tape hitting farmers• Good news? Nearly 1 in 2 Gen Z city kids are thinking about moving to the regions (with a dry reality check from the bush)No fluff. Just straight rural reality – farming, fishing, hunting, and the policies making it all harder than it needs to be.If you're sick of inner-city rules destroying food production and property rights, this is for you.Drop your comments below:→ What’s actually hurting your farm or business the most right now?→ Fuel rebates for fishers – good idea or not?→ Carbon farming and land use credits – working or should they be binned?Share this with a mate in the bush or someone in the city who needs a reality check.New episodes drop whenever something big happens in rural Australia.👉 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss the next one.#OffTheLand #RuralAustralia #AustralianFarmingKeywords: fish prices easter, diesel crisis fishing, australian agriculture 2026, carbon farming australia, tree clearing laws, gen z moving regional, nsw farmer podcast, rural australia podcast
