Used some easter egg hunt chocolate to make this . We decided no eggs between families this year and gave a donation to the samaritans. They were very good to my sister last year. Daughter and youngest lad made this

Looks nice.
Hope your sister is continuing to do well.

Had a look on haystack.ie there.

Hardly a price on anything.

What the hell is wrong with lads, just put a bloody price on your stock.

Donedeal's as bad with cattle prices. New thing is a price given as €12345. Very annoying.

The video below is part 2 of a couple of webinars going on atm on GHG production in Agriculture. About an hour long and there's an earlier one I haven't found yet.

That link above wouldn't work for me on the phone nor the tablet.

I found the first one though. Just searched teagasc and GHG on YouTube.

Interesting alright. It should be all incentivised for the common good to really make progress.
Or at least some other formula that ticks all boxes .ie. maintain production, improve soil health, drawdown more carbon, improve water and air emissions, bring in more money.

Any one who won’t put up a price or even puts up the 13445 for a price I won’t even be bothered to contact them and I know plenty more like me

Is that website still running?

One for accountants here

Is fencing posts, wire and labour involved in erecting fencing (if using a contractor) deemed a a capital expenditure or allowable expense ?

She got stuck in a creep gate which as made smaller with rope. Gave herself ropeburn across her back/pelvic bones & scar is still there. She had no other name at the time and it's a handy way to ID her to Dad:pac:

All expenses including wire, insulators, staples, stakes and the contractor is allowable for capital expenditure. All repairs can be claimed for is current expenditure.

Some sort of survey I'd imagine.

foxy farmer

Geological survey most likely. Had a plane doing that crack around here flying 2-300 ft over ground for a few days last yr.

Spreading fertilizer.

Nearly wouldn't mind having to look for a missing shin guard, gum shield or sock. Normally told about 5 minutes before we leave something is missing.

Before anyone gets the wrong end of the stick. Because you never can tell..

That/those plane/s are/was/were doing surveys. Probably the (aptly named) Tellus aircraft scanning bedrock.

Was saying that other day, there is no running about the place taking the kids to this and that...
It’s both good and bad...
Makes you wonder if you’re doing the right thing taking them to so much...

But then, am sure when we get back to normal life, we’ll fall back into the routine of taking them all over the place again ðŸ™‚

Base price

Spent the day repairing fences and the head is nearly cut off me with the N/E wind. Got back into the house around 7ish and noticed how grubby it's getting in the absence of our cleaning lady. I really miss our cleaning lady. I suppose I'll have to tackle a bit of house work tomorrow or I could go out and do something, anything on the farm

There are weeds that need spraying around the yards
