Will no till even work in this country in a large enough area as it is ...... Genuine question gone from tillage a long time and was only small scale and the plough was used

This is a bug bearer of mine.

It’s false advertising by these companies who claim they are selling 100% green electricity and it needs to be tackled by the advertising watchdog/regulator.

It can’t be 100% green electricity as we don’t have a 100% green grid!!

Exactly.

Its pretty **** that they’re getting away with misleading people like this.

A complaint to the CRU or advertising watchdog is probably warranted.

How is it better for the farmer to run 10 (tiny as you call them) farms? Do you think farmers are slaves? You clearly have no idea about the labour situation on farms at present.

The more you spout the clearer it is that you are in over your head here and you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

Looking at the jobs section in the journal this week, their is some shortage of staff on bigger dairy farms, alot of big herds looking for 2 employees, the salaries on offer of circa 30k, really aren't going to cut it given the current wages on offer in other sectors

In reality surely 25-30k is for 39 hr week I'd be thinking then per hour for each hour over that.

30k is about 505 home for 39 hours. I presume it would be hourly rate after 39hrs for a typical 50hr week?

Yet another mouthpiece on Pat Kenny this morning.

Pat isn't there, but the spawn of satan, Anton Savage is filling in.

Anyway this guy is on about petro states and how they got the words "the phaseout of unabated coal power and of inefficient subsidies for fossil fuels." added to the COP26 draft agreement.

Then he jumps onto methane and how it is the big one that we need to cut and will drop temps by 0.2 degrees.

Fair enough so far.

Then he complains that Ireland signed up to the 30%, but Michael Martin said when he got back we were only doing 10% and the 30% was worldwide.

He then reminds us we are the biggest producers of methane per capita in Europe and nearly all of it is ruminants and we need to cut it.

Never once does he even mention that those ruminants are all for food production.

Do all these clowns suggest that we just stop rearing animals and we all go vegan?

The other thing that I have noticed is how many spokespeople, climate experts, climate expert discussion group members, climate specialists in colleges, climate journalists there now are.

Does anyone ever think is it more fecking engineers we need to actually find solutions not more wafflers.

The proverbial gets taken when your in a salaried role, the farmer will in most cases on a busy spring calving system where a employee will be doing 60 hours plus in the busy times use the excuse that in the winter when cows are dry you'll get time of in lieu....

The one thing you never do when taking a job on a dairy farm is go on a salary, strictly needs to be a set rate for all hours worked plus whatever is agreed for overtime, I learned this the hard way twice before I copped on, in my last job I was on a set wage of 25 aussie dollars a hour, circa 17 euro a hour at the time 2011, plus superannuation on top tax rate for overseas staff was only 20% at the time too, due to staff problems at the time with lads leaving, out sick etc, I never worked a week in 6 months where I done less then 85 hours, a jeep free house and electric was also thrown-in.....

Their is alot of day-dreaming by farmers at present to what a good labour unit should be costing in the present jobs market

Data doesn't lie, but people do. Just last night I was watching the France 24 debate, and the topic was France opting for more nuclear and the topic included renewables. One of the commentators said exactly what I have elsewhere - that the cheap cost of renewables is a lie, because it never factors in storage required to achieve equivalncy with 24/7/365 available sources. Renewables + storage are more expensive than nuclear and other options.

10% of goverment revenues are from taxes on ICE motoring. That is some subsidy.

How can you tell when an eco-worrier is lying?

When you can see a visible gap between their lips.
