Farmers Handbook

Hello,

Just wondering do people find the Farmers Handbook any good and do many buy it??

Happy Christmas to all and hope 2013 is more profitable than this year

I found it good, if a little expensive, there's no way I'd pay 50 for it, also postage is over €7 so better to go to local office for it.

I assume its the Teagasc Handbook you are speaking about and not The Farmers Handbook (2013) (€17 +€3 p&p)

I get the ACA "the farmers handbook", it gives great up to date costings every year. There is some interesting projections in it this year for a farmer going from 80 to 160 cows. Cash flow for this project is a real eye opener.

Too much advertisements in it. Jesus its hard to separate the info from the advertisements you would be in a daze after reading it.
