    John Gibbins is another one on the last day.
    Going by his temperment on Social Media, I don't know if the organisers are willing to sign off on a sour note or are hoping for a re education of dour John like Darragh last year.
    A truly despicable man.

    John Gibbons???

    This is a serious misjudgment by the organisers. He would turn anybody off as soon as they’d see his name

    Bad mistake in my opinion

    A lot more scope to educate Darragh I'd say, I was there last year and saw the cogs turning.

    I was disappointed to see Gibbons listed tbh.

    I was there myself front and centre ..for the first day and saw the same.

    Gibbons is a bully. All about his own ego and profile.

    I blocked him ages ago.
    He's the one name on the ticket that would turn genuine farmers interested to learn, off registering in.
    He's a know all who knows nothing.
    He'll be a pompous cock on the close of day claiming he knew it all already.

    He's only on the last day. Supposed to be hosting the speakers.
    Those speakers are a thousand times the people he is.

    Yeah, add to that there won't be a crowd like Darragh had either. I think that crowd effect was important too. It's easy to be shouty, but less so when a few hundred people in the same room are reacting enthusiastically.

    I'd seriously actually be afraid he'd start arguing with every speaker on the day and explaining how they're wrong and he is right.
    There'll be digs thrown in for good measure too..

    Both Darragh and Ella are convenors on the Farm Biodiversity Conference this week. Darragh was quite impressed with it last year.

    Is there a link for that? Would be interesting to tune in.

    WJ means Biological.
    It's the Biological Farming Conference 2020.

    https://nots.ie/courses/biofarm-2020-online/

    Although both are not exclusive.
    And biodiversity below ground.

    Would like to tune in to that too but 50 euro might be a bit steep for me.

    Tbh, it's a criminally low price for what will be available.

    Absolutely, the information given at it will be invaluable as far as I'm concerned. Haven't head much about this John Gibbons fella, looks like I'm better to avoid!

    Yeah brilliant, it got a bit technical for my brain but very interesting. Surely Darragh will dumb it down for me!

    A wire one. I've a mobile broadband dongle at home and have to open the window and leave it out a slight bit. ( no joke )

    I was interested in looking at that bio farm thing but had a stupid course to do today with work and am working all week. Wouldn't mind i didn't learn anything related to my job today. Waste of a good day.

    The last segment was gas, the hippy dippy vibe, funny they didn't mention the fact 90% of the farm was converted to a large Greenfield dairy unit, green washing at its finest
