Farmers call for policy reform across multiple sectors as productivity collapses (www.abc.net.au)

Collapsing productivity on Australian farms has left a once world-leading sector at risk of being left behind by international competitors.

Annual farm productivity today is just a quarter of what it was decades ago, prompting the national farming lobby to ring the alarm for a government-led policy overhaul, including changes to competition and workplace laws.

Damn that is a confusing. Productivity is not down, the growth of productivity is down, but the headline and article makes it sound like it is absolute productivity that is falling.

I've reported an error, but last time I did that ABC never corrected the article.
