Community Building is a key part of The Aussie Wire's ethos, and it can take many forms. Today we speak with Jake Wolki, a farmer who is stepping in to help other farmers hurt by the ban on live sheep exports from West Australia. In the process we discover how it's possible for the shelf price of meat to be so high, but at the same time the farm-gate price for lambs is so low that some farmers are actually shooting their sheep rather than trying to sell them.
