Mad. What country is that in?
Only looked at the pictures so far.

Scotland I think.

Some set up anyway!

If I won the lottery it would be coke and hookers for a good while before I'd go building anything like that
Would there be much enjoyment in going that big ? I would imagine it would just seem like extra work after a while running a show like that . Id be as happy leaving the farm the way it is but just having more time around it and maybe encouraging more wildlfe around it

When i win the euro millions, I'm gonna set up a foundation and charter in three fully night vision equipped medi-vac helicopters. Full round the clock crewing; and base one in leitrim, one around Terry glass and one somewhere in the laois/car low area. Put an end to this scandalous carryon with ambulances bouncing around back roads for two hours with critically ill patients in the back. Also be on the way to any ship sinking in the Atlantic before the RAF boys get out of Wales.

I would keep farming til it was all gone.

I was thinking the same. I would hate to be at a size where it was more of a management role for the owner. I don't think you'd know your individual cows at that stage.
Some amount of money spent there all the same. I thought it was only in Ireland that milk production was expanding.

Imagine having to come up with 11 sets of wages every week, feed 1000 cows and pay for those buildings on 18p/ltr.

When your costs might be 30 or 35p/l! I think I'd be happier investing the whole lot of lotto winnings in Glainbia shares.

jaymla627

That farm must be on a Tesco contract which is still paying 30 pence litre at the minute, either that our he actually did win euro millions our the whole lot will go wallop in a few moths time when the banks move in haha....

If I won lotto I don know if I'd invest it in the yard or farm at home.
might buy land maybe but ye could never say ye built up this farm with your own hard work and long days iykwim

Nekarsulm

And of course, most importantly, you could tell the Dept. where to stick their SFP, and their cross compliance!

If you or I won the lotto, what about buying land, then plant loads of fruit and veg, get a nice housing system (eco,etc)... and give the option for the homeless people to move there, so they can have food and sleep under a roof. a place they can call home, if you they want

Don't ever go farming! I don't think you have the backbone for it.

Why would ya want to? Thats only for who are worried what others think. if i was going to spend money on the yard, I'd get every thing right.Concrete yards, cubicles, slurry storage, parlour, handling facilities and then make money from milk

[mod]jazzdude18, I've deleted your comments as they do you no credit whatsoever. The correct approach to what you feel is provocation is to report the post and let the moderators deal with it. Escalating the response is only going to get you into hotter water than the poster that caused your ire. [/mod]

Yep we do and we have a right piss up with the proceeds and blow it all on cocaine and hookers..,,,grant ,u don't have a clue my friend.only for the auld grant u wouldn't be able to provide a plate of food for ur family as food would be so dear.u obviously have no idea how much red tape and regulations we have to follow in order to provide fully traceable hormone free food produced from a natural food base.

Lotto- I'd put up a massive shed with 200 cubicles with mattresses 20k litre bulk tank and outside a 30 ton meal bin. Then I'd sell the cows, fill the shed with hookers, the tank with booze and the bin with coke, and go for an all-year-round breeding season. Then hope and pray that I finish my days getting loaded up onto the knackerys trailer with blowing lungs and a broken rod. What a way to go.

You're never going to get bored so GO , you could have all the money in the world and there will still be some sort of a challenge in farming !

Different issue with the lotto is would ye tell anyone ye won it or spend like mad and leave them wondering ? I wouldn't tell a soul if I won it

I wouldn't tell anyone, probaly not even herself. I'd just let on that i was a great farmer (that could be the problem) and earning savage money at milking.

For what its worth, given that we are discussing a utopian situation, I think your idea is as good as any.

Don't mind the milking , sure that's almost lottery money anyhow , now we could call you a very good farmer if you had a suckler farm making the big bucks !

If I won the lotto I'd head to the Caribbean. Laying on a beach with bikini clad ladies all around me, smoking cigars and skulling pints without a care in the world.

Brown Podzol

I won the Nigerian lotto three times, the Spanish one twice and the Turkish one once. I'm still farming away as poor as ever.

Buy some proper land in the midlands and run a herd of suckler lims. With a few horses thrown in for good measure.

Pay off the parents last mortgage too!
