@jeomaher Well done Tara. Great achievement 👏 👌

@djmccarron15 Hi Damien, I'm eager to hear people's opinion on this. Spring calving suckler herd here. 14ft 6 slat with 35ft straw lie back. Seriously considering putting matts on slats and only using lie back area for calving pens and machinery storage.

🤩 Ollie the collie’s favourite job is helping to secure the load of straw, and it saves work!

[Irish Farmers Journal @farmersjournal]

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has done a u-turn and reinstated the Straw Incorporation Measure (SIM) that he sought to suspend over a week ago.

@Nancyshollow @farmersjournal A percentage of straw has always been chopped however the tillage area in Ireland has dropped by almost 20% since 2012. Nobody complained when there was a surplus of straw for several years! The tillage farmers income wasn't important as long as the stock man got his allocation.

@Nancyshollow @farmersjournal Land rent around 100 euros an acre. Nitrogen 200 a tonne. That's how

[Declan Murray @declan7500]

@Nancyshollow @farmersjournal Your evidently very out of touch with how trying to get straw baled can effect the tillage farmers ability to get crops harvested. We haven't cut a single acre of winter barley yet because weather isn't dry enough to save straw. If we had option to chop we'd b finished.

Farmers beware a gang hit a lot of farms last night stealing GPS gear in this area. Took mine off 3 tractors in a secure shed.

An interesting watch @agricontract @wheat_daddy

@John_Dunne_ Dead right. They generally stop on a calm evening with a tank full of expensive fungicide on board. I reckon I may open ours. Thanks John.

[Paschal Twomey @paschal2me]

Wonder did they blame #climatechange in 1933? 🧐

[Declan Murray @declan7500]

@SionedOwen5 You've bred a super bunch of cattle there. Well done👌

[Declan Murray @declan7500]

@whittledaway You are completely out of touch with reality. Waterways across Ireland have not been maintained or dredged in several years. Climate change is nothing to do with it. If you fail to maintain your car it will break down. Same applies to watercourses.

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

We really need @agriculture_ie to wake up and stop trying to set farming deadlines by calendar and instead look at the weather and soil stats and forecasts. We have more heavy rain tomorrow but then nice settled warm few days from weekend but the slurry deadline is Sunday!

[Declan Murray @declan7500]

@farmersjournal A tenner an acre!! Is this some sort of joke?
