| Subject: That OZschwitz idiot again: Dick Smith sees red after supermarket giants can his beetroot Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:22 am | |
| T WAS the last hope for the Australian beetroot industry but even the entrepreneur Dick Smith could not save it.
When one of the only remaining beetroot farms in the country faced having to plough its crop back in six months ago, Mr Smith bought it, with plans to have it canned and sold in supermarkets.
But Coles and Woolworths did not want the beetroot, and Smith is now left with 100,000 tins of the famous Australian vegetable that he cannot sell. So, in desperation, he will give it away to anyone.
