@GerHogg @rtenews Its mad, we have a bit of scrub no cattle or machinery on it and it qualifies for no payments we were told we would need to clear it and reseed it and then leave it go wild to get payments 😂😂 if i clean it I’ll farm it.

@rtenews I find this hard to believe, currently every part of our farm that we have left to nature and habitats, we are penalised for. Of If I ripped them out I’d get paid more

Ireland needs to invest hundreds of millions every year to restore nature and to support farmers, fishers and foresters to protect the environment according to a report from the Independent Advisory Committee on Nature Restoration rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

I wasn’t looking for rain but I’m not upset it is raining after getting slurry out for second cut🌧️🌧️😅😅

@AlanBurton12 If Limerick kept 15 on the field they might have won it, but i think Limerick and cork will be Munster final and i think Galway will have a big say this year in the all Ireland

@bartleyj49 Not really I expect clare to beat them in ennis next sunday, the clare forwards are on fire 🔥. Will come down to the last game I'd say between tipp and limerick, which of ye gets out

Limerick are simply just different gravy this year

Last 34 of the yearlings heading out to grass, so long in they are nearly afraid to go out !! Until the gallop started 😅

@rayofoghlu Your right he did! But not a work about what supermarkets are at and how over regulated we are here compared to other countries and he has some neck to have a pop a farmers when FG were in power for the expansion and pushing it

@bartleyj49 He absolutely did mention expansion/contradictory advice.

Cue avalanche of emotional responses to Varadkars commentary. Understandable, but truth is farming is a declining economic and political force. If the sector can't demonstrate an ability to evolve (beyond simply more production) it will remain on this trajectory.

@AnfieldPapers @jamespearce Surly a piss take

🟢] NEW: Liverpool are open to letting Rio Ngumoha leave on loan in the summer window. Arne Slot believes the youngster isn’t ready yet to compete. (@JamesPearce)

@saloreilly Hopefully 🤞 badly needed at this stage

@bartleyj49 Looking better from weekend for possibly good decent dry spell but beyond that is like picking lotto numbers.

Just looked at the long range weather forecast and my advice is don’t look at it 🤮

@Mushy_06 I applied for teat early December and in March i got an email to book a time for either of 2 days this week in Thurles so 4/5 months

@bartleyj49 Hi James, were you waiting long to get it done? Its on my to do list

Grand to have the BE license secured 👌

@CiaranL1808 @connollyfrank1 Ya the man i had was sound, talking away near the end. The man been tested just before me failed i heard him saying to his instructor outside

@CiaranL1808 Bit of a money racket really for 3 lessons,the test and new license is nearly 550 euro

@CiaranL1808 Some of it was mad alright but tis done now anyway.

@JohnKeaveney18 They can only predict about 2/3 days accurately but the long range would depress you looking at what could happen

@bartleyj49 If that's the met eireann one I wouldn't waste your time. Changes the whole time...next week promised to pick up

@CiaranL1808 Needs must, i know 😅

@CiaranL1808 I think you’d make less mess driving in the field than using them yokes

@CallananDarragh @rayofoghlu A long time id say, that company brought the cuddies out to the factory as that machine was like the22,000 th machine manufactured by Ponsse that’s why it had custom design

@rayofoghlu @bartleyj49 That machine is probably on order for a long time Ray. It wasn't just taken off a shelf last week

I feel bad for the man. Hes in way over his head. Him and many decent working people have important points to make but have been manipulated by youtubers and tiktokkers after likes. Heres one such influencer last week taking delivery of a new custom designed branded forwarder🤷‍♂️

@rayofoghlu Again he’s not buying any machines and do you not think it’s currently very expensive to run those machines? No business using fuel would have factored in such high prices as we have, he and his brothers are entitled to be pissed off about things and speak out about them

@bartleyj49 I have non issue with someone investing in their profession. These machines are generally owned by the individual and contracted into businesses. Hes been a major agitator in this crying poor mouth while making videos of buying high end, customised, 'bigbank' branded machines
