Oh and as for these farmers buying machinery and putting up sheds, do you honestly think I believe that there are NO GRANTS payments made for these, now be very careful how you answer Buzzy.
Oh and these wealthy farmers buying machinery and paying tax, if they are so hard working and successful in business, do they forfeit the subsidies, grants and pay full VAT on their diesel like the honest hardworking taxpayers?
No, they bloody well don't, because Irish farmers are sponging parasites, scrounging a living off the hard working taxpayers.
you can buy the same diesel at the same price, it not just for farm use, if you like you can put it into your car haha, yes their were grans for sheds about 2 year ago, i said this before a farmer gets 10000 of a grant, they have to spent another 10 at least to do the shed to spec that has to be done, you could put up the same shed for 10000 without a grant, i know that we never got a grant for sheds.
the do long hours and work hard for what they have. if you think that farming is 9 to 5 job you can think again. they are out in all types of weather and no sick days, yes some are making money, not much but a bit, if they didn't get subsidies the would be loosing money, not the farmers fault but the government, farmers would be the first to give up the subsidies if they would get good price for their product, unless the government helps the farmer gets a good price, if they put up the price in shops people like u would complain. what can they do only try help farmers
