In the mid 2000's, a similar gouging was going on here, and some big tillage operators coupled with some buying groups (needed to be vat reg) imported direct from a manufacturer, and the actions of that move, broke the "cartel" that year... Would be very helpful if an alternative source if fertiliser could be landed this spring. Many of the group's have enough product bought to do till summer, so they won't be stepping to this plate this time around..but an individual has 90€ per tonne to play with to see if he could get it landed here from France...

Perhaps they wouldn't be welcomed with open arm among their cheerleaders if they showed the emissions of Ag alone. Or simply stated the transport and industry emissions on their own against Ag emissions.

We bolus the cows for minerals. I couldn't be without the scoop doing that. I have that dosing gun with a hook left in a corner somewhere. I think they're only any good on a one sided crush with stock packed in otherwise..

Say my name wrote: » Farmer's producing milk that's not wanted. Yet today's price is 35c. So fake news correct. Greenwashing a term just used to get up people's backs. Poor journalism. Reports of nitrogen and phosphorus in water and specifically attributing it farmers when the EPA in the report blamed council and waste facilities. Again fake news and poor journalism. Blaming agriculture for the increase in emissions when since 1990 it's decreased. Fake news and also poor journalism. Really! What else would you call such a crap collection of words? The writer must also believe this since they never bothered to put their name to it.:rolleyes:
