Myself and the oul lad have just finished the crossword....! Why did the paper feel the need to print the SFP's of the farmers operating under company structure???


Dan Ryan had a wee cut at new entrants in his article... He's of the opinion that most of them don't know what they are letting themselves in for as regards management of dairy herd... New entrants consider it to be a 5 day a week job?...

Seen that myself. Strange one alright. The Cork address is Bantry, which is similar type country to leenane. Con might investigate on our behalf!

Just an update on this morning. I had an electrician working around parlour and had told him the story. I went off herding and the voyager landed back in the yard. The electrician was cute enough and told yer man he wasn't wanted. Fecking bastards, god knows what the lad might of gotten up to if the electrician wasn't about.

These f1ckers landed with my dad in 08. He told them no and when I landed back from work 2 on roof spraying away. Bloody 135 In shed after being done up , space sheeting!!
Had to let them finish.
Massive cost paid about half to get rid.
Guards threatened to be called and everything.
My dads 70th and everything ruined.
Had 2 bad dealings at work with them also.
Scum scum scum.
If I get them back it will not be nice words used.
Did not see 135 till next day Fuming.


Landed at a local man's yard and said,
How's it Boss. Your friend up the road told me to call down. Man said if he sent you here he's no f ing friend of mine.

This is the flower of the crimson clover Mahoney. This is what you don't want to see!
Found this in the corner of the field while planting Sunflowers today.

I taught that I read somewhere that it was a good idea that it goes to seed once a year as when it sheds seeds it strengented the sward keep the clover content up.

As far as I know, crimson doesn't grow back after mowing?? And only goes to seed once a year. Why let it go to seed and take a low protein crop?

You can get a few grazings from it no bother, but when it grows a "stem" and you cut it, it's gone.
It grows to the height of your pockets.

Spread urea on grazing. Think this dull weather it would be ok. Not had much rain but a few light showers. What do rest of you think mad or not

I could not have less interest in the "newspaper" if it were written in Chinese, never read them. Only buy the indo on a Tuesday for the farming supplement and even then I forget to buy it a lot of weeks.

The Journal I get each week as I have a digital subscription so don't have to leave the couch to get it :pac: It certainly has it's problems.

Yesterdays farming indo had 0 in it for me tbh. Most if not all of Tom Colls piece was in his talk in Athenry.

Spread just over a bag/acre urea last week - was fairly visable on the ground after spreading
Ground was damp but got no rain or heavy dew after it was spread.
Next morning not a sign of it so either it was robbed or it dissolved into the ground - Ill know next week..:D

Nope, I can guarantee I will not be changing. Hard to get rid of a bad thing!

Speaking of bad things, anyone any idea how to get rid of Japanese knotweed? Other than move to another area of the country.

There is a version of the independent that comes out without the supplement. I was staying in a hotel over a Tuesday and found this out. It hadn't fallen or taken out as there's always a small picture of farming section on the front page if it's in it.

I was caught out the same way one time, wouldn't have minded only there was a lot going on at the time.
