@1noeloconnor @2_darragh Possibly, I know coops are worried about supply. Heard of one coop bringing in land mobility to get land to younger farmers. But also heard a story of a coop who has taken a few kerry suppliers refusing to take on more at the moment

@colindgraigue @2_darragh A lot will depend on how fast milk supply falls in the coming year or two and projection of milk supply in the following years. Once the extra processing comes fully onstream, it becomes advantageous to keep it supplied and working. Lots of milk down here looking for a new home

@1noeloconnor @2_darragh Wishful thinking, they're very cautious about taking on each others suppliers. You have to remember they're all processing milk for each other at different times

@2_darragh Tha ability to move milk from one processor to another. Now that we're past peak milk and supply starts to trend downwards, processors will have room and perhaps much more appetite to accept milk from outside their normal catchments

@Walsh50Brendan Get the mineral status of your soil balanced and you will seriously negate any bloat issues, I wouldn’t be including RC in a mix that potentially will be grazed.

Bloat is obviously the big negative to clover so as well as the 2hr break the cows have access to straw. 2 cows came in this evening a little bigger than we’d like so we held all cows in until after milking. Both were back to normal before they went out again.

The Conor Pass is for sale - 1,400 acres of it including Pedlar’s Lake. Asking price of €10m. It should be a National Park!

@jackharnett1 @SeanSheehanBA Hurling analysis from most media is brutal. No actual analysis of tactics or how the game played out on the field. Just telling stories and made personal opinions of the game . I need to have a listen to Jamie

@Joedev1956 @Hylo67 Whole thing is a joke Paul. How the politicians or activists expect farmers to take what they say seriously I dont know. This 'green desert' thing puzzles me, I just can't see it. Switch off and plough on is the plan here

@Hylo67 Agree 100% Paul, we never get credit for the amount of hedgerows, trees, bushs etc we have in our countryside compared to a lot of other countries. We are constantly being berated for destroying nature, this picture is a margin of a conventionaly grown field, loads wild stuff.

@colmandeely @conormulv What is the definition of the green desert Colman? We don't have any field here exclusively ryegrass and there is a tree/hedge in your eye line every second of the day

@hqmulligan No wonder we can't get new blood in farming. What are we expecting, someone to come and bail the contractors out? Someone to give us a milk price top up out of the goodness of their heart? Farmers are always facing challenges, we'll get through this one too

@hqmulligan Hannah, I listened back to countrywide this morning. I thought it was all very negative. You never discussed the joy Bertie got from his job over the years and you asked Pat was there more positivity back when milk price was 20cent! Where's the positivity?

@padraigoconno20 @LICIreland I ordered in November too. Got majority of the semen a month ago just short a few. I've always had late deliveries but didn't matter as I had plenty in the pot but this year seems worse than usual. V frustrating

@colindgraigue @LICIreland I ordered last November! The reality of having to use a bb or a je on cows that are not suitable for either is where I’m at now . Probably have to swallow my pride and ring Munster technician now .they could have given us the heads up on this. Ps, they have the best bulls tho

Ordered semen from @LICIreland on November 22nd, ‘it might be with me tomorrow’😉 one third of cows bred and coming thick and fast , no Ho/fr and no Jex in the pot , and no alternative put in place by the company. Oh and when I get the delivery they are short on straws as well 😏

Is it only a matter of time before this government starts to sieze land here ?? As a young farmer I'd be very concerned about the future and there are so many regulations now it feels like we're being suffocated, are people not thinking about future food security ?
PeterSweden@PeterSweden7

The TRUTH about the Dutch farmers🇳🇱🚜 The state wants to SEIZE their farms to meet new climate goals. Farmers are at the forefront standing up against the globalist agenda. That's why the elites hate them. RETWEET if you support the farmers👇 petersweden.substack.com/p/truth-about-…
