THE protest outside AWB's headquarters last week by a group of farmers lamenting the loss of the single desk raised a few eyebrows.
Not least by their poor spelling.
The inscription on the coffin read: "R.I.P. rural communities loosing the single desk - another nail in the coffin."

The next day, Back Paddock was reading what the learned scribes down at The Age had to say about AWB's annual general meeting.
