buzzy111: Are they changing?? They are changing, farming has came along way in the past 10 years in ireland. farmers are trying to make life easier and safer for themselves, to Increase Productive is that wrong? there is noting like fresh eggs and veg, its a nicer taste, i would agree with that. Grown spuds is expensive, with the amount of spray is used, Dot tell me they don't need spray, just let them grow in the ground. if you do come out with that, please look back in Irish History. How much is a veg in the shops? aldi 60 cent a bag, need alot of costumers to make a weeks wages, what about export do the county not need it? how much land does he have? over a 100 acres yes, if it is a 100 acres it about 9000 give or take a few hundred Yes if you have a good bread of a horse and winning races,how much is a good race horse? big money, horses are making money at the moment, didn't for years take the 20000 away from what he earns what has he got? Haha how many bags of cement is in a concrete floor, 4 to 5 inch tick? 5 euro a bag, i could imagine filling concrete shutters putting in a tank haha. its workers out cheaper to buy a load of concrete, 600 euro a load which cover's a wider area that 120 bags do you not watch the news? dan Morrissey has closed. ''sell them on at a profit'' thats all the farmer wants, im tired telling you this haha so you think sean obrien made his monny form farming haha,he is a well paid ruby player. My brother was one of them young farmers of the year so he knows how to farm. only for he has a job he wouldnt be able to farm to the scale he is farming, thats just the fact of the matter
We seem to have hit a wall of contention in this debate which could become a never ending discussion.
If I sum up the IFA argument it would appear that they want more money for their produce. Would you agree with that?
My argument is that an increase in prices would ultimately affect the taxpayer buying their groceries in the shop, and that we would just refuse to pay more for Irish goods when we could avail of cheaper imports.
The only solution I can foresee is for Irish farming to have a radical overhaul, whereby the smaller farms are bought up to form larger units, which would be viable, as they could deliver an end product at a cheaper price for the consumer.
The current policy of the taxpayer financing subsidies and grants, is maintaining small unproductive farms that fail to make a profit for the farmer.
