Dairy Chitchat 4, an udder new thread.

you’re obviously an expert in every field of farming bass I won’t argue any more with you. I’ve a lot of reseeding done in my 12 years farming

. It’s getting reseeded with the grass Harrow. You need a clean cut sward to get the best results from it and if the sward is brown all you’ll do is drag trash every where.

It’s getting round up power max, if you’ve never used it then you can’t pass comment, it’s by far superior stuff. I’ve branches and hedges to clean back on it so it’ll probably get left till next week to spray off now because you can’t touch field hedges till September 1st L. Itll get 3 runs of the grass Harrow, sown on the 3rd run, rolled, 3k gallons of collecting yard slurry and 3t of lime per acre after that

I think they were being used up to the early 80's. There was a stack of them here in the yard and field I remember left over from a job. It was really stone made drains, the clay sets, the yellow coil piping. And now yellow coil or those pipes with felt covering.

Have you your own digger Jay?

if derogatory goes it could see milk and cattle price go to what was never taught possible supplies just won't be there I think we're in for a golden age in agriculture

you’ll see milk from America and meat from south America on the shelves here

No, a really good local man does all the digger work here, very reasonably priced would be no saving over doing it in-house

Theres a shortage if incalf heifers as farmers were scared to not use sexed as was advised then alot of surplus were sold in spring for beef around 1200.Cant see farmers paying anything near 4k ..2k will top them and it will only be for this year anyone apart from tb needing heifers has themselves to blame and would better doing without.

I'm about 10 mins from Kilkenny city, so might be a possibility for Airbnb.

In an intensive dairy area here so buying land or even rent is almost impossible, most farm investment is done in terms of sheds and milking parlour and I don't see the point in putting money into those things if I'm going to be told I've to cut more numbers.

You would want deep pockets to be going renovating or building these days. The problem is the euro is gone very weak.
