I remember from 2012, the combine driver has a pic of cutting the outside headland of a field with a duck swimming in the tramline beside him :pac:.

I have sympathy for the grain growers and every farmer who has to take a loss but why would he say he was standing knee deep when it was only ankle deep and in a tractor wheel mark. My wife noticed it and she knows nothing about farming. I had to rewind to see

It makes a joke of the lets stand together nonsense of some. When one enterprise has no weather disaster that wiped out their years work, only a minor price dip into the red vs 4 years of skirting the line now for others all the worry should be for them. When really they want the goldilocks zone and fudge everyone else :rolleyes:.

Jesus that farm is some operation

Every young farmers dream?

CHOPS01

Serious operation alright. But would it really be a young farmers dream.
Every bit of feed bought in so no on the land so to speak basically just constantly putting cows through the parlour and foreign lads doing it. Impossible to build any sort of relationship with your stock.
How close can your nearest neighbours be, must be at least 5 or 10 miles. Wouldn't be for me.

And the frightening thing is if one council gets away with that some faceless fcuker of an official elsewhere might get the same idea

Looks like a serious outfit he has in Limerick!
And a nice farmhand!

more to that than meets the eye i think

fair play to him for keeping going

When I close my eyes and my brain wanders off to dairy matters overseas, it's the 350 acres of high performance pasture that's feeding the cows not 23 tractors but that's just me.

That's one thing I've learnt.....you never get the full story.
Ethically the CC rep couldn't discuss individual cases

Sure it was the same a few weeks ago about the Richard Weldon, the lad that invented that stick thing. It was more than the accident that stopped them growing parsnips.

So if it was a man it would be ok? Look I dont know the full story in this case. If they did get the volume of complaints they were talking about it has to be acted on. I am in no way a fan of the county council. There seems to be alot more to it

WexfordFarmer

What I don't get is how the oul one who was on the council can actually be happy bringing the poor oul farmer to court going about making a days wage for himself and saying the community and farmers are happy now since dispute has been resolved over a smell which fades away soon after.Yet if we brought her to court on the smell of her septic thank she wouldn't be half as quick to be judgemental ! just remember you need the horse before the cart!

Exactly to be honest it just shows all the Farmers in Ireland how the county councils are just a pack of C*nts who should stick to breastfeeding their shovels

When Darragh tried tubing a Cow and squirted half it onto the udder? Had a good laugh at that.

If they brought him to court it was because he wouldn't comply for at least six mths, Most councils give time to tidy up your act before referring you on, unless in the case of a fish kill.
I think he admitted or Darragh said that he didn't do what he was told at the start

I think that's because the initial requirement from the council was for him to install some fancy air purifying gadget above the diet feeder, which would probably cost an eye-watering amount of reddies, that in he end was not required. No doubt some council genius must've just googled "how to get rid of smell from diet feeder".

That said, if you take away those big new sheds and concrete yard looked fairly fresh also, then maybe the yard looked a bit different when those complaints went in.

Not sure what part of wexford you're in but the new Ross district council are a revelation in getting work done.
It was the best day ever when they took over here. They know how to get the work done.
