Ralph Pearce No excuse for ignorance; not today
Written by Ralph Pearce   
Sept. 28, 2009 – Nearly 12 years ago, I learned an invaluable lesson about farming: people from outside of the agri-food industry just don’t get it. They haven’t managed to get it for quite some time, and without a massive shift in mind-set and a re-setting of priorities, it is unlikely they ever will.

May 6, 2009 – I am not so young that I have never heard, ‘Always Count to 10 before you....whatever.’ Whether it’s to speak ill or strike someone, the wisdom of our elders says that it’s always best to count to 10.

Written by Ralph Pearce   
Dec. 11, 2008 - Unless something truly earth-shaking happens or there is a suddenly-emerging topic that lights a fire under my you-know-what, this is my last contribution for 2008, so I’ll bow out of the year with some random thoughts.
