But adventurous entrepreneur Dick Smith is ready to change that.
- For those who appreciate the hard work and finesse that goes into producing memorable lagers and ales, "Brew-it-upï" is technology at its best.

- It used to be that a pup from the neighbor's litter did the trick, but with fewer paid employees on the farm the working dog's role has become more important than ever. Highly skilled dogs are in demand, and last weekend some of the best in the country were put to the test, competing in the New South Wales state yard dog championships in the small town of Dalgety on the Eden-Monaro plains.
- Australia's sugar industry's been through some tough times in recent years. Growers have been battered by bad weather, low sugar levels, and even lower commodity prices. But perhaps the most serious challenge to this one billion (Australian) dollar export industry emerged about four years ago, when our biggest competitor, Brazil, developed a new improved brand of raw sugar. It immediately set new standards in quality and purity and threatened Queensland's position as preferred supplier in some of our premium markets.
- If you had to name Australia�s favourite fruit it would have to be the banana. We eat millions of them every year and although we usually associate banana growing with Queensland and northern New South Wales the most productive plantations in Australia are in western Australia. The bananas from the west are grown in tightly packed plantations and as a result they are not as large as their eastern cousins but some clever marketing has turned a negative into a positive.
- When Jeannie Gunn wrote the quintessential tale of life in the top end against all odds, she called it We of the Never Never. The Northern Territory even coined the "never never" phrase to attract tourists, though for the past century it may have just as easily summed up your chances of getting to Darwin by train. It seems you should never say never. The project that has been sidetracked more often than a shunting yard loco, has finally got the greenlight and $1.2 billion to make it happen.
- Recently Landline brought you a story on goat meat - Now here's a story about new hope for goat fleece.
- Fifteen years ago the farmers of Barooga, a rural community in southern New South Wales had just experienced another wet winter. Yet again more water was lying around in great sheets, drowning valuable winter crops and waterlogging productive land. When the State Government said the problems in Barooga were too big to fix farmers were left demoralised and in despair. Today Barroga is a different place, it's vibrant and profitable. And it's all down to a group of farmers who decided they would show the bureaucrats that their homes, farms, and futures were not beyond help, and that salinity, waterlogging, and high water tables aren't a death sentence.
- The issue of cloning has made many prominent headlines in recent months especially with claims by a controversial Italian scientist that he plans to clone humans. But cloning is already having an impact on agriculture and Australian scientists are at the forefront of this new frontier of science that promises amazing possibilities. But as Tim Lee reports, cloning also has many pitfalls and the issue has divided Australia's scientific community.
- Australian broadacre farmers have justifiably earned an international reputation for being among the most efficient and innovative primary producers in the world. This is due in no small part to their uptake of new technology. What's not always appreciated is that our agricultural engineers are responsible for many of those bright ideas from the stump jump plough through to precision farming equipment. In fact, when it comes to the development of GPS-guidance for farm machinery, the so-called "hands-free" steering systems, Australia's now the acknowledged world leader.
- Researchers in the Top End this week unleashed one of the most devastating diseases affecting commercial banana production - all in the name of science. There have been a series of outbreaks of the soil-borne fungus Fusarium Wilt or panama disease in the Territory over the past five years, which have threatened the viability of the fledgling industry. Panama disease has no known cure or treatment. Not only does it lead to the destruction of banana plants, but it can contaminate soil and remain undetected for up to 30 years.
- For many farmers their property is their kingdom, a piece of land that they control and nurture without interference. But a group of graziers in the New South Wales northern tablelands have chosen to relinquish this concept and instead combine their land into a single farm, sharing stock, resources, labour and most significantly, the decision-making process. This new approach to farming is based on a practice which began in medieval Europe one thousand years and these commoners believe it is not only good for their bottom line but also an innovative way to halt the environmental decline.
- Five years ago, George King's neighbours scoffed at the idea he could turnaround the fortunes of his family's farm without spending a fortune in the process. By any objective measurement the place was falling to bits. The paddocks were clapped out, the stock was in-bred and the dams were silting up. He believed the problem was not the farm as such, but the way it was being managed, lots of decisions with no clear goal in mind. After a decade in the red, the place is in the black and we have just been back to see how George King turned it around.
- There are about 50 registered cattle breeds in this country and by and large if you are in the commercial beef and dairy business, the bigger the better. But for a growing number of hobby farmers on small acreage, size is important too. They are after quiet, compact cows that will not eat them out of house and home, like the dual purpose "Dexters".
- Australia has a very proud tradition of producing top rodeo riders. We've had many world champions and many Aussies compete successfully on the tough but lucrative American rodeo circuit. Where do these good rivers come from? They don't just happen - in fact many start at rodeo school.
