None of us will know who's involved till Jim Bolger is able to give names without leaving himself open to litigation.
Current situation now from all this is every trainer is suspected by the public.

It shouldn't matter whoever is found guilty of such a thing that if guilty then they should have zero involvement with the horse and racing industry. Size of yard or profile should have no bearing on that decision.
All trainers want is a level playing pitch.

If you were a trainer not using, you would come out to back him.

Apparently that vet had enough imported to administer 62,500 doses. Thats a lot!!

It it takes 14 days of daily dosing before performance starts to improve. And then they need it constantly after that. It’s not just a matter of one dose before a race you’re left with enough to do 62,499 more horses.
In reality there was probably enough for 3000 horses. A fair amount of that could have gone into equestrian events other than racing that may not have the deep pockets for testing, but owners/riders may be open to any means to get an improvement from an underperforming animal.

I paid 97.4 c a litre for green from a pump in Kilrush. Nearly broke my heart handing that kind of money over. Luckily it was only 20 litres.

81 cent/litre at the pumps of Jones Oils in Cavan town.

Current EPA report out.

https://twitter.com/ElaineMcgoff/status/1404825631658020869?s=20


Key findings. The highest nitrate release rivers are the Barrow and Slaney.
These two also have the highest concentration of tilled soil in the country.
These areas also have the lowest soil carbon in the country. Till your soil you oxidize your soil carbon to carbon dioxide which releases nitrogen to move in the soil.
Which is what happened with the 2018 drought and soil carbon oxidation from the air cracking into the soil and nitrate release.
Report found that areas with high livestock stocking rates on which they called heavy soil didn't show high nitrate release to waterways.
My guess it'll be ten years before the terminology of heavy and free draining soil will be changed to carbon rich and carbon poor soil.
Anyways here we are still in 2021.

Report above.

The black boundary lines I reckon are river catchment boundaries, not county boundaries. It's either the Nenagh river, or Ollatrim river. Downstream from Templederry would be my guess.;)

Would anyone have any idea as to what were the original back wheels on a MF165?
Thanks.

Fairly sure it was a choice between 13.6 R36 or 16.9 R30.

Disappointing to see the Slaney under that kind of pressure - especially for a spate river, the Lee appears to have similar issues. Not surprised at the figures for the Barrow, a slow moving river that flows threw an intensively farmed catchment. Pleased to see things are better west of the Shannon with the quality of rivers like the Robe(Mayo) improving after a grim period during the 80's and early 90's.

If you look back at the data for the Slaney on the report it was always the highest.
I think the Barrow just pipped it in 2018.

We'll have to get serious and truthful on the commentary. You can have organic farmed veg soil leaching lots of nitrogen and conventional livestock soil leaching less nitrogen.
I've yet to see such a statement made by an taisce (and I'm singling them out because of their anti livestock agenda) who claim their sole concern is water quality.

Would I be absolutely cruel to a silage trailer to use it for the odd load of gravel and drainage stone? See the odd good value 18ft silage trailer available. Looking for a dump trailer for drawing fermented silage during the winter and it’s impossible obviously to find a second hand one. Like everyone else in the country haha I’m struggling to justify spending 20k on a new trailer only for it to sit Idle 340 days off the year. This year will be a once off for the winter.

I've seen it done with a Broughan. Just make sure it has a hardox floor.

If it’s only the odd load of stone, why not just get it delivered?

enricoh

Depends on how much you put into it, 12 ton should be no bother. Some lads like to get their money's worth when at the quarry n load up. Just the chassis or the rams don't appreciate it!

Very Fair point. Just assessing our options tbh. Just said I’d give context as to what I wanted out of it. Be handy to be able to run for 7/8 ton the minute you want it instead of getting it delivered. Similarly if we were doing a bit of land drainage and drawing 200 ton you’d do anything to keep costs down

The biggest issue would not be carrying the weight, provided you’re only bringing reasonable loads, but the actual loading. You go to a quarry and you’ve a 30 ton shovel carrying 8 or 10 ton in the bucket to load you. It’s a long way down from the top of a silage trailer before it hits the floor compared to the low sides on a dump trailer. The floor and sides of the silage trailer then wouldn’t be built to anywhere near the same strength as a dump trailer so that’s where the damage would be done.

After a few loads of stone, it'd only be fit for Hammond Lane.

Is there much difference in price between getting it delivered and collecting it yourself?

Looking at buying a microscope in the US, if I go ahead what sort of charges should I expect to pay above and beyond the purchase price and shipping?
