A heifer rearer in Longford looking to rear 40 - 50 R2's and will rear calves from 3 weeks of age next year. He is a good stockman and has good land. PM if interested. @Seamienolan
@ashleighfen Farmers need to attract people of equal ability to fight their corner. The presidents were elected in and can be elected out. But good people need to be compensated enough to divert enough of their attention away from their own businesses to represent the farmers of Ireland.
@ashleighfen I did wonder who needs a pay rise on top of 180K? But the people who these men are negotiating with (heads of departments, CEO's and general managers of meat and dairy processors) are all paid well in excess of this for their abilities in strategic thinking.
@ashleighfen Those three lads are fighting the might of the departments of agriculture and the environment and the European commission. If you want monkeys fighting your for corner, pay peanuts!
