I wonder how well his Angus sale would go if it was only non SFP receiving farmers were at it.

Conmaicne Mara

Unless the newspaper spun his argument it makes little sense to me. The headline reads "EU subsidies must stop", in it he says he disagrees with small or rich farmers getting it as small are uneconomic and presumably the rich, like himself, don't need it.

So is there a middle class farmer that gets it? Or is it just small and rich and it all goes?

Because it's been thrashed out here and it appears to me that the dog & stick man with SFA inputs will be standing and farming a lot longer after the withdrawal of subsidies than the productive intensive farmer under the current system.

He makes the same argument from time to time, about the Children's Allowance. But he doesn't refuse it either. Any publicity is good publicity.

Years ago,my neighbour rented some of the land that is now his (O' leareys). He maintains that it was the finest land he ever stood on.

Oh I know it's only said for publicity, he's been at that for years.

I am not surprised at that, he isn't short of a few €.

Does he send back the childrens allowance or SFP or donate either to charity I wonder?

Happy Easter to all
If I had a magic Easter wish then it would be that we all have an equal and proper internet connection irrespective how far from Dublin/Cork/Galway ect we live.
The internet signal in our part of Longford is abysmal to say the least. For some strange reason my mobile phone internet signal is better. Unfortunately the screen on my Nokia phone got broken 3 weeks ago and therefore I have not been online commenting lately.
We're just back home from a run down South and because I drove the back leg I am wide awake and checking out F&F. The signal is excellent at the moment, probably due to the fact that normal people are in bed

I seem to recall some old saying about a warped flute not playing true.
I could be wrong though...




Correction: maybe that saying referred to a warped violin..

What are you selling dzer ?

We developed a machine to tar and chip the access to motorways and tracks around golf clubs a few yrs back. It is suitable to do private driveways and small lane ways and yards so we are advertising at marts as most farmers have laneways and access yards. This work will be under the umbrella of the new tax incentives from the last budget.;)

All work has 10 yr warranty and we have an office that's not a Hiace :D

Anyways happy, peaceful and a safe Easter to all of yee

You have to have a certain amount of posts to do certain things on boards. I'm guessing the ability to edit is one of those.

Man that does hoofcare and dehorns calves for me was telling me that he had the flue for ages this spring and couldn't shake it. He heard somewhere that it could be RSVP virus. Anyway when vaccinating calves for some farmer he had a cc of vaccine left and administered to himself, up the nose. Right as rain after four days. Wasn't even worried when one of the calves died two days getting the vaccine. :eek:
