Tree clearing in Australia
Farmer
Congratulations on your Appointment!
Thanks for joining us. As a Farmer, especially during the current drought, you have a strong interest in looking at the best, most cost effective and efficient ways to maintain a sustainable farm to grow your crops. Now you need to find more information on whether the effects of tree clearing are of benefit to you .
This page will guide you closely through three main issues and prompt you to find examples (facts, statistics, quotations, or any other inputs) that you believe provide support for your views on the issues posed by this quest.
After you've collected an example for each of the issues, you will need to combine these into a single statement that represents a "Truth" about that particular key issue related to how tree clearing has effected the environment if at all. You will repeat this process four times.
Here is a town called Miara that the owner wants to develop.
1) What would be the concerns of farmers in the area in regard to the development?
2) Given the population of the town could it sustain the development?
3) Are there resources in the area that would sustain farm land?
4) Have another look at the satellite image of the area.
Are there any other farms in the area? What could this mean? Has there been much tree clearing done in the surrounding area?
You will have an opportunity to speak with a farmer around this issue. Your time will be limited, so it is a good idea to think of the questions you would like
to ask prior to your meeting with the farmer. By working through the above questions you will have an idea of the questions you may like to ask.
Now you need to organise the information you have gathered and decide what you, the Farmer, thinks would be the best option for the development, or not, of the land at Miara. Try using a flow chart to do this or plus and minus columns to weigh issues up.
Remember that you may use the Farmer wiki to discuss issues with other Farmers.
Present your opinion in a professional manner either by movie, powerpoint, still frame animation, which ever way you think will best showcase your point of view and persuade others.

Here is a link to a wiki that is for Farmers only, a place to discuss your ideas and work practices with your fellow farmers.
Here is a link to a voice thread where you may either record or type your thoughts around the pictures, and hear your fellow farmers thoughts on farming issues.
