  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,292 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    He was filmed throwing a sack-truck through the bus window. One fellow supposed to have got a cut face.

    I hoped at the beginning he was clever enough that he wouldn’t believe his own hype...but I was wrong

    Some of the veterinary advice would make you shudder at times.

    I see a lad who was slating greenfields a while back, whinging about how the minister is importing fodder now. The same lad is whinging about how someone advised farmers to sell stock etc, he said he has 3 culls finished but wants €1000 for them no less, you would wonder about some people alright.

    Great selection in my letters today.

    A water bill from Irish Water, like I need more water.

    And a notice of restriction for TB for another neighbour. It doesn't seem like anything they're doing is working round here:rolleyes:

    So you’re gonna sell stock to stretch fodder... think again

    Does anyone know what's the cause of this showing up when selecting certain threads. Even if I go back a page on this thread its coming up. On the phone. Happens occasionally.

    What is land making for 2 cuts of silage? Farmer needs to fertilize himself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,341 ✭✭✭✭whelan2

    Two cuts silage will take most of the years grass so probably a full years rent (€200+/acre) plus fertiliser.
    You're not clear as to who's paying the fertiliser but there could be the equivalent of 6 or 7 bags 0 7 30 (€120) going out the gate as well in two cuts silage

    Got a delivery of kerosene this morning. I have a new bunded tank. The delivery man dropped the inner lid down between the two tanks. I can see it at the bottom on top of the outlet. My options are try to fish it up, dont think this will work. Try and source a lid off someone's old tank. Open the screws that hold the outer lid on and take up the lid, would this mean the seal wouldn't be as affective when I put the screws back in?
    Or ring the manufacturer and ask for a new lid.....

    And now it's horsing rain :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,767 ✭✭✭✭Say my name


    Observations today.

    First picture.Ground where tree branches were burnt before the field was ploughed and reseeded. Not sure if it's visible in the picture but there's clearly a difference in grass growth and a visible circler patch.
    The boot is on the edge of the patch for guidance.

    Second picture. The rest of the field.
    Field was grazed in February.

    (The Wellington was there before I arrived).
