Well, what is the story with Agriland.ie?
Who owns the site and how do they finance it?
They seem to have got up and running very fast.

At least 1 in 5 of its articles are well thought out, rather than cut and paste from a press release which given what passes for journalism in this country makes it exemplary.

Still has a fair share of spoon fed nonsense though, goes giddy at the thought of the GDT spluttering up half a handle.

Know what you mean.

It's tiresome enough saying it 'till your blue in the face. Don't want to a have to read it too.

And then there's the question of apostrophes.

Rangler, you should do it. You have excellent insight on sheep and a good way of putting your point across. I genuinely believe you would be very popular with it.

They need to really check thier content before publishing.

There are so many inacurracies in this article that it should be withdrawn.

Mainly inaccuracy is Fitzmaurice being credited with saving South Galway from flooding.
