@Hylo67 This is a fantastic thread on agriculture exploitation.

@FarmerSimonC @DouglasChristi9 What I have also seen is clover disappearing out of grass swards, as far as I know there is a term on it, when the clover plant considers to have done it job and steps back for a few years, assume its just dormant. I have seen my swards of 20% clover drop to 5% at a guess

@FarmerSimonC @DouglasChristi9 Very similar to what I’m observing on grassland soils, required N level is increasing due to high C levels. Surprised you don’t get a response to Sulphur, maybe you high Mg soils? are very efficient N users

@CorkNutrition @JackMur681 @GardaTraffic @CorkSafetyAlert There was no getting thru Charleville which would be the normal route

@Clearpreso You could be looking at double the cost of the ingredients for feeding two people, over one 🤣

@HefinR @duffy1972 Are mills/distilleries slow to restart/taking a long Xmas break in UK aswell 🤔?

@FavColour_Green What the oldest whitethorn hedge/tree you have seen?

@j0hn_k Until you take it back to Hilti Ireland and they go, yeah this was robbed in Sheffield 🫣

If that’s what’s coming out of the taps, imagine what’s coming out at the other end

@gsandral Farming in climates with sufficient rainfall, I would say 20% on a biomass basis is more than enough legume to grass

Probably paying for ACRES in Outer Mongolia

@TornadoNate Is that ex oil pipe cheap to buy?

@MarkMcC64572225 Couple locals not fully compliant with recent regulations, so are just going to milk on until they meet their fate from a Regs POV instead of investing to stay compliant
