    Must be a strange feeling to see a Fendt and a new Claas baler race downhill and go over the edge.:mad:
    Some nice pics there. Plenty of Mchales there too. I see they use a lot of quick attach hitches.

    I was there in 1996 on a farm tour wonderful country. Would not join the EU because they would be net benefactors. They did not give their natural resourses away Statoil was their national oil company. Farming was protected and encoureged no doubt we see the result in those beautiful pics Could tell lots more I youre interested;)

    I was there, with work, myself about 2 years ago. Nice country alright. Very small fields, even by Irish standards.

    What really strikes you, not just in Scandinavia, but the rest of Europe too, is there's very little ditches or cattle grazing. You see a lot of concrete roads too, with perfect run-off drains.
    It's like Ireland was late catching up, but along came REPS etc, to pay farmers not to make these changes, i.e. spend money like the rest of european farmers had already. Good timing or what?:D

    Haven't been to Scandanavia but am interested in what ye have to say

    Very little ditches - surely ditches are of environmental good - so are you saying Ireland is better in this regard? (we have a plague of small birds around at the moment). Or that our fields are too small and badly shaped?

    No cattle grazing - meaning that Ireland by utilising grass is both a cheaper producer and can be seen as a better product??
