    Anyone read up about the Longford farmer with 180 cows on 36ha in the findo. Paddocks growing over 20tons. Sounds like NZ not Ireland ha!

    I was reading that an hour ago. It's possible alright. I know of 2 farmers achieving 18 ton and the one I was talking to a few weeks back reckons he still has room for improvement. In West cork tho.

    At the bones of 1500/acre it's probably a bit rich for dawgs blood.

    Ever hear the joke about the yank over on his holidays in ireland.

    He was in the pub one night talking to two local farmers, and he was bragging that the farm he owned in america took him a full day to drive all around with the car.

    One of the irish lads says "we had a car like that once":D

    Well it looks like 30 odd years in the quota system and managed to avoid paying superlevy in any year but this year was the tightest and required the most er "management".

    If that farm was in Ireland it would be on the market for €5 billion.

    The worst of the cattle would be available by separate negotiation, and the oil would already have been sold to someone else.
