A farmer in the Gunning area is mixing instant mashed potato powder with concrete powder. Honest. He claims that when the mouse ingests the mixture the concrete swells
and pop goes the mouse. He further maintains that if a raptor eats the carcass then the lump of concrete will be expelled in its regurgitated food pellet, so no problem to the bird. Well I dunno, but it’s interesting to note that human ingenuity has come up
with a use for instant mashed potato powder because it’s unfit for human consumption.
