He's a good guy, he leaves the tractors in my yard at night for a week every month during the summer, then arrives with a massive hamper at Christmas.

This lad was in a jeep. Big beard.

Heard someone say the migration has started from limerick to the UK.
This could be just gathering up cash before Rosslare.

Not welcome. Especially now.

I was wrong about the UK.

Hello France! :pac:

Bought a pair of cat boots a few years ago. $200 dollars. Comfortable and not bulky. If jeans or trousers are down over them you would think they were a shoe. Most money I ever spent on shoes

Aussie dollars or US? Ill give them a look.
Also looking for a pair of Olivers workboots if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Any recomendations on a smart comfortable pair of boots wouldnt be worn on farm or on site and would need to be non steel toe cap TIA.

I have these and they will see me out!

You might think they are expensive but Hoggs have them made by Cheney in Northampton and they are as good as it gets. You can have them resoled also.

They are a bit heavy but very comfortable.

I got them special order from McCarthys (now HPC) in Prosperous Huntingandfishing.ie

The hunting section in Mccarthy is excellent

bought a pair of snickers workboots a few months ago. about 100 euro but they are really comfy and light and lots of support. you wont notice the difference in them and a pair of nike runners.

The ones I have are steel cap but I am almost sure you can buy the same without steel cap and sole

Did ye see the race from Navan yesterday where the jockey lost his stirrups coming up to the first fence. He rode for 3 miles without stirrups over fences and won the race.

All ahead if me, even after returning to Christchurch and Rural NZ after two years and back into Sydney after time away already. Found Christchurch changed as there was more work done on the rebuild but still the same fellas drinking in the same pubs as before and nearly the exact same in the other places too.

Fair play for giving them up. A lad in Clare gave them up and took up running- ended up winning an ultra marathon in Antarctica about 5/6 years ago. When Covid is over- it might be a target for you.

Say my name

Did Luke Ming Flanagan murder or something someone in the past?

Seems like he's shouting away on Twitter about all and sundry and all media have blacked him out.
Hasn't appeared on tv or radio since God knows when.

Poor fella is in his own empty echo chamber atm with just himself for company..

You should look jnto the easyway method, i went to ome of the seminars a few years back even when i went back smoking everything i learned at it was running through my head with every drag i took. Did ye know it takes more effort to smoke a fag than to not smoke one?

A fella tried to get me into strongman competitions in the latter half of last year but it wouldnt be for me. Jf j could get back playing a low grade of rugby and a nice bit of swimming this year and go from there id be happy enough

Has anyone seen Kiss the ground on netflix.

An interesting look at carbon sequestering in farming, and soil health

Seen it last year, it should be mandatory viewing for all the hippy dippy vegans on the consequences of removing animals from the food chain, the clip where they show the barren tillage field and one of the farmers they are profiling fields on the other side of the fence line green and healthy says it all

Here I was worried I was the hippy getting into regenerative farming. healthier soil less need to buy npk every year seems like a win win

Posted this on the Biofarm thread but very interesting here too. Mcdonalds looking at regenerative agriculture for its beef supply. This would make for an interesting public discussion on the contribution animals make to land, soil and carbon sequestration:

I’m surprised there is something like that on Netflix. Most of them programmes are totally anti farming. Will check it out

Having a few very strong advocates, doesn't make a market.

Is suckling dead in the water? More dairy propaganda today in the farming indo, saying the subsidies for suckling should be for conversion to dairy.

Shur we all can't go into dairy. Surely the bubble will burst at some stage? Especially when its being so hyped

If they paid a fair price for the fat animal, there wouldn't be an issue.
BTW, what idiot put their name to the piece?
