, Went to see Keith Barry in Athlone last night, He's unbelieveable, even a bit disturbing at times.
It's a brave person that'd volunteer to go on stage with him.
Very good show,

Saw him in Galway just after Xmas. Very good. Wouldn't fancy playing poker with him.
Would love to know how he does it.

I see from the news, GB is going hard on brexit. they were also having discussions with New Zealand.
Guess where their cheap meat (lamb and beef) will be coming from. The uk is only about 60% self sufficient. There's an auld law beside us who is always saying a bit of starvation in the developed world wouldn't go astray for sorting out the value of farmers.

Basically, leave the common market and the customs union. Big issue for us with exports and a trump style wall around the north:eek:

Tough side first in negotiations.

If you want to sell a horse or cow for 500.
You don't offer it for 1 and expect to get 500.
You offer it for 1000 and you might have a chance.

It's a game of poker or like union negotiations............

Edit: it's a bit creepy.

Did you never notice that lads that worked all their lives at the oul tar-mac would be brown as a berry?
Dunno if its the higher level of sunshine in the "Home Counties" or a result of working with the tar.

Although that lad hardly ever saw a tarmac rake up close......

Ah I know, but what if the other side doesn't want to buy regardless of price. The Eu does not want a run of leavers. Basically leaves us screwed in the middle

That's it. The EU I think is really getting too big for it's boots.

I was watching one of the political programmes, Brussels report or something?
Anyway you had Brian Hayes the muppet on telling the interviewer that there should be tougher sanctions on Russia that it didn't go far enough.

Easy know that he's not a European farmer looking to trade with Russia.
They're off their head on ego and power.

Could Agribusinesses who operate in both jurisdictions not just channel their sales through their UK arm?
It might be a chance to royally (no pun intended) screw their suppliers, but its what the FDI outfits have been doing for decades.

That's the big question. U.K. Feed compounders like Thompsons in Belfast have customers in Meath and further afield and they possibly will be forced to go through an EU import protocol for every delivery to the south. And likely the reverse would be put in place

All the advice I have seen has said not to sign until you get legal advice. They're claiming rights to cattle and what can be done with them that hasn't existed up to now.

I see LIC are counter counterattacking now with public meetings going to be held all over the country.

GERMAN ROCKS · 15-01-2017 09:53PM

didnt see ground this dry at this time of the year for a very long time. Sprad slurry in fields over the past two days in fields I wouldn't never have dreamed of doing at this time of the year. My biggest problem now is that I will nearly have all the slurry spread and nothing left for the rest of the year

They stand to lose a big chunk of market share and are attempting to mind their business, I'd say. I was planning to buy a share of straws off them for heifers this year but only under the understanding that I actually own the calves from the straws bought from them.

None of mine would be going to AI or stud but if they can claim the rights to bulls, what's stopping them claiming the rights to the heifers also?

I don't know I couldn't tell you.

I hope they don't get away with it though.
Don't you know what's going to happen at these meetings.
They're going to try and encourage everyone to pay/join the co-op and reap the reward from their business. Wait and see.

Edit: It'll be if your not in you can't win and the silly farmer will join.

, it was revealed that New Zealand-based breeding company LIC will be requiring farmers to sign a contract this spring before purchasing semen and if they don’t, they are not allowed to purchase semen.

The contract would preclude farmers selling LIC-bred animals to other AI companies for the purposes of producing semen for a period of five years.

I would have thought that there was plenty of Irish, UK, EU companies supplying semen without requiring anyone signing a contract.
Methinks these kiwis are trying to punch above their weight.
