Of course it has changed, like any industry it has evolved. No doubt in 20 years time, what we are doing now will look dated.

I’m going to pass my land on to my son in time. Thankfully he has a love of the land and agriculture. I don’t know a single game farmer who actively goes out of their way to harm their land, their community or their environment. It just doesn’t happen. Yet, it’s always farmers who are in the firing line from the Greens. Default setting.

The local FF lad has played a blinder convincing you that the Greens are single handedly setting agriculture policy in this country.

Personally it seems obvious to me that massive changes in how we all live are inevitable, and particularly for farmers. But people should be able to still make a good livelihood from their land, it’s just going to involve change and adaptation. To me, the Greens are the only ones making any effort to get ahead of these changes that are coming. No one likes change forced up on them. But farmers should be working with the green transition, not against it. It can be to their benefit. I think the approach that the farming lobby is currently taking is going to see the industry absolutely fucked in the long run and they’ll probably blame the greens for that too.

I find the nitrates directive thing mad. There’s evidence of massive pollution that we need to stop and the farmers are lobbying against change so they can be allowed to continue polluting rivers. It just seems a nonsensical position.

You want a pass to allow you to poison water

That suggests you are all happy to detroy the land

He’s a great TD.

He’ll walk back in at the next election. When you are consoling O’Gorman at the count centre in a few months time think of people like me who his party have fucked over.

How have the greens fucked you over?

It works both ways.

For instance, Ryan telling people in the country to car pool! Come on to fuck!

Also, any hint of changes in farm sizes has to be treated extremely sensitively and I don’t think it has. Rural people and land runs so deep, right back to planters and famines and all sorts.

No poison, we’ve had to devise our own water scheme off our own bat. Regular checks undertaken on the water quality so as to protect ourselves and each other. It’s called community spirit.

[MountLeinster]

Ah yes the nitrates. Piles of sewage plants pumping shit into rivers and septic tanks rotten everywhere. Are these some kind of magical nitrates??

But no , look away as there’s a handy scapegoat to carry the can. There’s piles of lads invested heavily along eg the Function but as there’s an overflowing sewage system in Kilbehneny it’s all for nought.

Until those living in these overflowing sewage plant catchments are billed for their contribution to pollution will you see this sorted.

Not trying to be smart or be argumentative with you here, but just on the principle of this, if people choose to live in the countryside, should they have an entitlement to live a more polluting lifestyle?

EPA says otherwise mate

[MountLeinster]

Rivers say otherwise, mate.

Simplistic question I know.
Farming is abolished in the morning, as lads here are advocating.
How does the world feed itself?

[MountLeinster]

Hope you like lettuce

[glasagusban]

Who advocated that?

cow secretion farmers being abolished will have 0 affect

I’d say if the likes of @Rocko , @glasagusban and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy ever had to spend a day working on a farm, the “have you ever soiled yourself as an adult “ thread would have 10,000 posts in an hour

It’s a suggestion, might suit some

Nobody can tell you to do that
