Same here
Every time gibbons appears on the last word I keep texting in that same question on why gibbons won’t put his money where his mouth is and rewild his home place.

Where in tipp ginger
There is a meeting on foliar feeding with Joel Williams 19th June in Tipperary. Now I know he makes a big complicated deal about what is a simple task but might be of interest to lads thinking of dabbling.
Plenty of lads at it out of hope rather then it been a good idea, the funny thing is the same lads lashing it out will be decrying the epa water reports in 2024 if we get a 2018 type scenario with alot of recently spread fertiliser ending up in watercourses, and with that it would be say goodbye to derogation from 2026 on
Anyone spreading fertiliser these days?
“…intrusive scrutiny into private or family matters”
What does he think he’s doing when he criticises farmers???
I was on a panel with him last year at some food festival thing in Waterford. He lost everyone in the crowd after the first 10 seconds of his first long monologue. For someone who trades on controversy and dramatic statements, he was very boring and didn’t win over a single person that day.
The broadcast and print media like him coz he’s middle class, university educated, and has a D4 accent - like them. Most importantly (for them) he blames people they think are below them in the social order.
Jeez he’s rattled lads 😂
So is he holding onto the farm to rewild it or taking the money and running??
It's only a couple of weeks ago land was too wet....
Gibbons is just a bitter angry little man with a chip on his shoulder and a clear agenda to destroy Irish livestock farming
has Matt copper every tackled him on his fine family estate and why he won’t put his money where his mouth is and purchase it and practice what he preaches
Matt is nothing more than a tabloid journalist that always goes for the drama and the argument.
It is daft to be paying farmers to reduce livestock on account of emmision targets ,I wont be complaining if they are going to pay farmers 3k per cow compensation but it is mad and makes no sense letting 100's of thousand migrants in to the country and reducing 200k cows per annum .How will our bigger population effect emission targets or are they not counted or the houses that need to be built to accomodate them not counted either?
We must be in the traditional “silly season” when a random bullet point in yet another academic report gets such coverage in the media.
The proposed reduction scheme is after making global headlines too, Elon is even retweeting it, Charlie and Co are after kicking a hornets nest will be interesting to see how it plays out, sein fein could make a lot of Hay if they come out against it
John Gibbons getting a bit of a hammering from Ewan McKenna over on twitter... Ewan rightly wants to know why doesn’t he let his big estate go wild rather than selling it.. Ewan has now been blocked.. . Mr. Gibbons is a con artist of the highest order and slowly been found out… pity Matt Cooper is too weak to ask him that question on radio
Moaning is all that's left to us!
Unfortunately it is rare that we get everything the way we want it ourselves! Any amount of moaning wont change it!
I’m sick of this hot weather. Great for people doing silage/field work but I’m unable to get jobs done during the day as I find it’s too hot and have to leave milking till late. Well’s will be seriously tested this summer I fear. Rain could be elusive like 2018 and about 5-6 weeks earlier. Grass isn’t an issue for me yet but I’ve kept feeding 3kg per day. Feels like is turning into an annual thing and getting worse.
But your wasting serious money- discipline is the most important factor with foliar application/ maximisation of nue is the goal
Well all I know is its working. But the that might be down to the fact the biological activity in the soil is high, you would struggle to find a dung pat or urine patch.
Know someone who does a good amount of crops near ye using the N16 atm to keep his shyte spring corn on life support. Case of minimising the losses this year.
Would you buy off my company if I claimed the same ?
No name just NS 18 2 they call it
this company is mixing it up themselves
It’s going on 2nd cut silage ground that was cut 3 weeks ago
Studies from wales show really low nue if sprayed in less than 700 covers
Regarding the timing. We would do a batch of paddocks from 3 to 10 days at the time. The thing about spraying V broadcasting timing is that the spraying get to work immediately, where as with broadcasing it could take anything from 5 to 14 days to take effect depending on weather. If no rain or dew mighn't even work at all.
Well if it gets you hooked on spraying, no bad thing. We all had to start somewhere, didn't get it all correct first time.
13 would be more like 30 units with the other stuff going included- a bit strong if on a 20 day rotation- you won’t get the benefit from the 30 units as you’ll only be able to spray on 700 covers for maximum nue- problem is that it will be grazed about 7 days later- ginger will back this up or maybe I’m totally wrong
What's the name of that product? It sounds like it would give results no different to standard urea in water in practice...
