@willocallaghan They are better than what was on show today. A collective off day.

@eamonn19791032 @bartleyj49 Funds himself. Dont think he hates farmers - just some farmers hate him for pointing out uncomfortable facts. Righteousness works both ways.

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@bernardjackman Really? Hasn’t a heard of pace left. Leo out too

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@ArableSam Solution: reward positive nature based solutions on farm. Think reps money and some of the mentality from acres. Only then really can you say it is marginally better than before.

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@ArableSam Stocking rate is obviously much better. However, these farmers will not see any benefit from this greenwashing. Shite from factories and supermarkets again muddying the waters. Only the big guys benefit as it’s set up for dairy to beef

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@PlayerGaelic Add in the inability to get more coaches or parents involved. Becoming a real issue

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@ballsdotie There is not meant to be a clear advantage as he suggests. Mearly a reward to play at home. Anyone can be caught on the day with is exactly what championship should be. Groups only suit big squads

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@rayofoghlu Farming has changed but it’s not all pessimistic. People trying to improve things for many reasons, efficiency, small improvements etc. simply just trying to make it work. Making it work because of who they are. Policy needs shifting. Food system needs an overhaul. Leadership

@AnSealgaire Your an Absolute melt!

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@kingkane Farming - the only profession where you need millions in assets just to make a regular wage. Add to fact that the working week is 60+ hours too. You’ve literally no idea the work/stress/financial insecurity that goes with the job. Dose

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@OffgridIreland €2 a litre next week according to suppliers. Supplier called us last week and asked if could take some before it rises

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@JaneSelena Exact same.

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@TrevorFarrell12 No sympathy for dealers, but the price of calves is outrageous atm. Financially makes no sense to rear at current levels. Literally working for nothing.

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@rayofoghlu @ArableSam Big caveat is the land change use. The biggest reason it is slow to take off. If land could be classified as agricultural land with agroforestry on it, you would see more of it.

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@pippa_hackett Being told to do so by councils. Hate seeing it but happening along so many roads

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@2pintpaddy Makes no sense. How lads can pay that and see a margin at the end is beyond me. Recently got rid of 22 moths hex heifers. 560+kg, none reaching €2k. By time rear, test and feed them not much left. If was to replace would cost 5-600 hd. Madness

[Eddy Weldon @EddyWeldon]

@TrevorFarrell12 Very little if any growth in the plants to take up nutrients therefore if in free draining it will wash away in Dec/jan. agree calender farming is not th solution. So much spread onto lakes just because it had to be got out. Not right either

@stuart__mcavoy Rugby player cannot get a pass away in traditional sense so has to improvise and fling it. Ireland are struggling to go from wing to wing when compared to other teams. Midfield are lacking in creativity. Far from quality. Pose very little threat
