I see our ex jailed uk animal rights activist ucd lecturer is supporting same.

Cant understand how someone like that ever got tenure tbh..

Should the guards not keep them under control a bit. I'd imagine without having full knowledge of the law that they have no right to be stopping traffic anyway. I doubt these type of protests appeal to anyone sane considering changing to a vegan lifestyle either. Bunch of crazys constantly probing for a reaction.

Seen on Facebook there are animal rights protests in Roscrea, anyone heard anything?

https://www.tipperarylive.ie/news/home/426585/animals-rights-protest-underway-in-roscrea.html

I called to the mart which is just across the road they were gone at that time about 11.am

Say my name

Just back from the teagasc Oak Park open day.

I was never there before so it was a whole new experience from the archway going in to the fine research centre.
Well impressed with the place and impressed by the speakers at stands.

There was an Italian woman who was very knowledgeable on soil compaction. Showing the soil layers and how compaction damages the layers. Very thought provoking on how she advised to get biology and organic matter to fix the problem.

Then all the cereal plots took my eye and the rye looked interesting to me.

Then trials showing where slurry was applied to crops from no nitrogen applied to added nitrogen and slurry. Then how just by adding that slurry to the soil added a ton of carbon to the soil. The researcher on that part was excellent too.

Then plots of spring barley showing the difference in crop rotations. (Rotated with potatoes).

And all free. Excellent day out.

Problem we have with Rye is too susecptable to Ergot in moist climate as a grain crop and seed is extortionate. Lots used for bio gas whole crops though!

I was thinking of it's potential for straw. :pac:
It was the height of myself...

I believe it's used in mixes for arable silage too.

There was a stand there talking about aphids and a new type clone that spreads BYDV and how it's getting near impossible to control it since the spray arsenal is being reduced.
Natural selection and spraying made this clone. But interesting as an outsider to see evolution at work.

Just another year closer to when the European cereal crop fails(2012 was a trial run) and get hyper inflation of food prices. Can't bloody wait!
If they expect crops grown to their spec and reduced chem input farmers need to be able to do it. Costs of everything in Western Europe are too high to not maximise yield when only recieving world prices otherwise just export the demand to somewhere that doesn't farm to the same stringent levels.

Without neonics the choices are accept crops can't be grown that give a break to white straw as Flax and Cabbage stem flea beetles just murders brassica crops. Lads giving themslves a clap on the back last back end made their Bydv worse not destroying the greenbridge with covercrop mixes that were antagonistic. Are you a good farmer because you don't lash out insecticides but suffer from low fractions of yield loss or a good farmer because you do and can still grow a diverse rotation and clean crop free of pest or disease.

Just heard about yet another farming marriage breakup yesterday,
I know that some guys have an affair and hence deserve to lose half the farm and proper order,
But the one yesterday definitely didn't and the wife is financially very well off and going after half the farm.
Apparently a court of law will support her...... shocking

Think all divorces in this country are no fault divorce, probably cheaper for the state.

It's mostly the reason why farms are set up as companies now and wages are taken from that.

If an animal rights protester protests and no body films it, have they really protested?

If they film themselves jumping in front of traffic and then post it in facebook. That tells you a lot about their mental capacity.

They'd be regarded on a par with Emily Wilding Davison within their own circles.

That was also filmed in 1913 and shown worldwide.

Just at the moment I know five or six guys that I've known all their lives who are in trouble and the hell they're going through.
Anyway aside from that I was away on trip years ago, one of teh guys got a text from the wife that said she was talking to the workman in the milking parlour.
He commented that it was surprising as he didn't think she knew where the milking parlour was.
It'd be hard to let half the farm go if the partner had no input into it.
Anyway they all have my sympathy

patsy_mccabe

We are moving into an era now, where people feel that they have an entitlement to something, even though they may have never contributed anything to earn that right. This is fuelled on by the Richard Boyd Barrett types who have free rein to spout their idealogies.
The days of people feeling they have a right to a job is now replaced by their right to a free house.

Yea, god forbid she would talk to another man. We all know women talk to any man and that’s the deed done. FFS it’s not the 1800’s and if the implication is she’s not to be talking to another man he deserves half the place taken off him to humble him a bit

I'd say he was just putting it in a polite way across.

Quick question folks....I am reseeding a small patch (about 2 acres) and I usually go with the 2 bags of 10.10.20 but I have surplus bags of 27/2.5/10 and 0/7/30 and was wondering would it be okay to go with a bag of the 27/2.5/10 and a couple of bags of 0/7/30 to the acre instead of trying to get 5 or 6 bags of 10.10.20?

That'd be fine. I'd go with 1.5 bags 27:2.5;5/acre and 4 bags 0:7:30/acre

you've taken it up wrong, she was just asking was there any problems while the husband was away, I didn't imply any thing sordid, but she wouldn't be in the yard usually.
Just emphasising the problem of the farmer building a farm and then losing it to his partner in divorce even though they did nothing on the farm

I think you've taken it up wrong. It's an archaic view. Let her pack up the kitchen and the washing machine and off down the road with her....

Out here if youre together for 6 months and signed on a lease together, youre as good as married. If theres a split they can claim enritlement to half each others assets. For a defacto visa here you need a lease signed, 6 months together and a joint bank account of some sort. Many a lad quitened after the visa comes through and they thought they were a right lad getting with a nurse while the rest of the boys had to jump through hoops to get sponsored.
But then youve the other side too lads that get sponsored themselves and think there cock of the walk and mske a note of dropping it into comversation as much as possible.
Hard to know if youd rather be tied to a hungry Irish subbie who will work you night and day and then lose a nice bit of youre wage in tax or be tied to a woman and thinking to yourself any night ye head into town i cant **** up tonight or ill be on the way home.

Alright so, a partner on €80,000/yr, should, in divorce, leave the farmer destitute because that's the way I see the cases being thrashed out,
A new house plus substantial maintenance is the least I've seen..... along with the washing machine of course.
The best outcome I've seen is a guy that has nothing in his name and nothing at risk
