    studying Land Management

    Welcome aboard and you can probably educate us as much as the other way around! Tell us, what involved in the studies? Is it agri focused, or more planning related, or something else entirely?

    Hi all been reading the forum for a spell. Not farming myself but work away on the home place as well as the girlfriends parents farm. Don't see too many kerrymen on here and definitely nobody as far south as me so said I'd finally join.

    Am I the youngest here :P ? 19 years old from the west coast! From a small drystock farm in Mayo. 50 odd Texel x ewes lambing mid march selling in the back end. 6 spring calving sucklers cows selling the calves as stores at 12-13 months. Just finished drystock management course there in June but going to try and get into shared milking or that as I'm not going to get the home place(doing the Professional Diploma in Dairy Herd management). Should be starting a work placement on a dairy farm mid september probably near one of ye cork boys! I hope to learn a thing from the dairy farmers posting on here! Have been going through the threads for a long time and picking up bits of knowledge along the way! You don't learn everything from a book some you learn from a computer screen! :)

I supply glanbia, spring calving, sell all bulls as calves keep the heifers. Milking the same no of cows as last year :). This is a great resource to have. EVERY DAYS A SCHOOL DAY, without the schoolbags and suspensions :P.

    Why is she the headmistress? No I don't mind dry weather at all, beside the blackstairs, hard to keep rain away. A few miles away each side of me its like a different country.

    Wexford seems to be a more mixed county than I thought both land wise and weather wise. Over here on the Atlantic we all have the impression Wexford is like the Algarve ;):D

    Big difference in climate and soil around county from macamores in east that grows some amount of grass in a dry year to tillage land around ballycarney that'll dry up the second it stops raining. Then land where I am where soil is very deep and south wexford then has a drier milder climate than me.:)
