Clear herd test this morning.

Say my name

A lesson in that a niche product is only a niche if it's not mass produced and the supply restricted to keep prices high.

Should just about see him out. If he was any younger he would have had to buy something better. Right Reggie?

We have them in Cork with a couple of years;

There's four for €11

Think he supplies West Cork Burger Restaurant in Cork City, as well.
He has set up a network of suppliers, I think.

Hard to know. Not impressed with landini atm. Not the product but the management

I actually haven't tried the Wagu yet, the Macroom Buffalo burger is delicious though, thanks Johnny Lynch.

Handy mapped and have a 6 cylinder engine, did you put a map on your own tractor, with the fpt engine in her you'd easily put her up to 165 on the pto with zero issues

Are landini not very similar to new holland?

Buford T. Justice XIX

I was at a meeting last night and a few issues were brought up that will have a bearing in the near future.

The first one was a new requirement down here for a bond of 50k euros to be given to the council when opening a forestry road for thinnings. The bond must stay in place until the last of the timber is harvested and any damage done to the road that the forestry road opens onto will be repaired by drawing down on the bond. Apparently, the bond can be used to cover any damage done to the road by any use and not just the forestry. Brought in with no consultation as well.

The second was the routine maintenance of drains in NHAs (and SACs as well, I think) is being forbidden and permission must be asked for before any is done. This is again contrary to the agreed procedures and brought in without any consultation.

The council will use that money to fix potholes that they should be fixing anyway

Waste it most likely. That's all I see them doing.

To be fair I see a council lorry regularly parked in a wide gateway near for an hour or so me most mornings between about 10 and 11. This gateway is often used for fly tipping.

I suppose they are making sure nobody dumps anything there then

Was only joking anyhow Reggie. I would seriously consider them.

I read a retired government employee admit on social media that they used to purposely go onto SAC land at night to block drains.
It was a bit of an eye opener for me.

The same individual would be known for being vehemently anti farmer and landowner. But it was an insight into a possible group think for the ones that are still employed.

What area was she employed in?

The forestry sector is basically been shut down, the lad that was paid of to stop objecting to the corrib gasline, is now putting in objections for every new forestry application in the country from his computer in Mayo, it's getting to the stage for primary agriculture to survive in this country you would need the state to become impoverished and taken over by the IMF again because once the corporation tax and Intel/apple money keeps rolling in the civil servants in power will gladly shutdown the agricultural sector and hope to be seen as guardians of the planet while doing it

I've said it before but I think forestry here atm is a massive scam. There's forestry after being harvested that didn't leave enough of a return to replant, according to a few last night.

We're being pushed into forestry when nobody can tell what the end market is going to be. If forestry planted decades ago can't find a market anywhere near the projected returns, what's going to happen to the forestry being planted now when harvest comes and an even bigger amount of timber starts hitting the market at the same time? How is that going to give a return after the premiums are finished?

I just can't help thinking there is no plan to use this timber but just leave it there, worthless as a crop but worth a small fortune as a carbon sink for the Government.
