No quitten we're whelan onto chitchat 12.

I agree with you 100% but I did see it on an article and can't find it now. However I re listened to that podcast and I think the crowd funding websites freeze thr accounts temporarily when they start up while they wait to verify its a legit cause.

are dairy men worried about collections? Dairygold use a whole collection of hauliers who have their own supply but that’s got to be topped up like everything else.

this is why I really wonder how many farmers are actually involved in this. Most wouldn’t have the time to bless themselves never mind go sit in a tractor for a week and everyone needs collection or ration or something involving Lorrie’s not to mention what’s used on farm.

I think the IFA and ICMSA should be stronger on saying it’s a minority of members and distance themselves from it. El Presidente was on the radio saying the 4 hodlums had to be around the table or it wouldn’t be resolved. Sure that’s only enabling them.

The average Joe soap thinks all farmers are supporting this everytime the media mentions “farmers and hauliers”. Farmers are likely the most impacted by the blockades.

Similarly hauliers and their association, all tax compliant hauliers are getting rebates. I bet most doing this are not tax compliant and not members of the haulage association or whatever they are called.

maybe I'm being hard on you but that thread is more relevant

true, I think the problem is the charging time. If you’re business involves having a van on the go all the time the few hours taking it off the road it takes to charge prob makes it uneconomical.

To be fair that sounds more like a broken heater motor than anything else.

See postmen around here with the vw electric vans, they never stop spinning the back wheels, you'd have to wonder.

II wouldn't worry about your milk collections going forward, the army have started shifting the blockade to open the supply of fuel.

They'll work with the round up or gallup. I dunno what to say about mcpa, Ive very poor results this last year or 2. Mcpa Wants 48 hours dry after spraying, it also doesn't want prolonged dry spells and it wants growthy weather. It wants a lot of things that roundup etc don't need.

I done around the same time with tractor sprayer. Somewhere over 2 bar and all nozzles working. Some bit over recommended rate of chemical and it had no results. I'm doing it for years on the country and it's slowly getting worse. Maybe it's the scheme water and it has too many chemicals, sometimes you need an additive for the water as well as an additive for sticker agent. But if you got on good then go ahead, I'd have sprayed this time of year in the past with good results

Any update? I was out at the local protest today very peaceful two squad cars when I was there and one headed off shortly after. Everything went along without incident thankfully. There was a few nutters among the crowd but the majority were just normal people that are just fed up.

Sorry lads - there’s a big thread dedicated to the protest, can we just keep it all over there…
