Hay Bales Port Elliot_4425
A reasonably productive hay field near the beachside township of Port Elliot, about 1hr 15min drive south of Adelaide. A former farming area slowing being built out by the expansion of surrounding suburbs. In a few more years it will be lost forever when the temptation to sell becomes too great.
[There is a solution - the government buys out the farmer, paying the same price the farmer would have received from a developer - the government then declares the land 'farmland in perpetuity' - saving it for future generations - then leases the land back to the farmer who can keep his windfall from the sale and also keep on farming if he/she wishes, or on-sell the lease to someone else for them to farm the land. Win-win-win.]
