- If you're one of the many Australians who own a horse, be it for sport or play, then you've gone through the hassle of getting your mount shod. Well a Tasmanian inventor has come up with another choice, and his horse boots, described as running shoes for equine athletes, are set to take the world by storm. For humans, footwear is an important part of the wardrobe. Now horses have a choice about what goes on their feet, or hooves if you wish.
- One subject, which will inevitably involve farmers, is ethanol production. To create this fuel extender, farmers are needed to grow the crops from which ethanol is extracted. But as Landline found out, despite the inevitable decline of our fossil fuel resources, with few exceptions, enthusiasm for ethanol is surprisingly low-key.
- As family farms are passed down from one generation to the next, so too are any problems brought on by years of working the land. Today we look at one farmer in Western Australia who is turning such an inheritance into an asset.

- Within the beef industry there appears to be more contentious issues than there have been for many years. They include the impact of the free trade deal with America,the snap-back tarrif applied by Japan, the ever-present possibility of an exotic disease in Australia, live exports and some dodgy buffalo meat impacting on sales to Asia. But the most controversial topic around at the moment is the National Livestock Identification Scheme. That is where Kerry Lonergan started his discussion on beef with MLA Chairman David Crombie.
- A series of changes for Australian wool growers is around the corner. They'll be asked to declare whether they carry exotic breeds of sheep alongside their merinos, and testing their wool for dark and medullated - or hollow - fibres will become easier and cheaper. It's all in response to some major and growing criticism from China and Europe, about increasing levels of this kind of contamination in our wool. Many in the industry are saying concern about contamination is threatening Australia's reputation as a source of clean white merino fleece.
