They are busy buying Irish milk (powder) but could change their mind tomorrow and then it really would a case of 'Oh feck'.

we gave up watching the news several years ago and have now given up watching most tv as its all so depressing, its amazing how much better life is without the constant news feeds, I blame the 24 hr new services for a lot of it as they have to "create" stuff to fill the slots most of the time

Rolling news is expensive to produce and edit so cheap non controversial trash is the order of the day.
I watch a lot of news , but not the bbc .

This time of year I barely hear any radio. I never read papers and haven’t watched the news since a week last Saturday.
It’s a nice place to be in my world.

We need someone like Boris in charge of the NFU instead of that sour face who thinks we are doomed

Every one I speak to seems rather dispondent with the job.
Is it across the board/nationwide?
Beef job not helping plus the uncertain period we are going through at the moment.
I’m hoping @Cab-over Pete at the helm will steer us through
We’ll be fine Kev. Put the kettle on and have a Hob-nob. Folks are scrutinising costs more than ever but still appreciate a good job done by and large.

If you think Agriculture is a despondent place various sources are saying the morale of staff in the NHS is at an 11 year low.

How did they manage to spray the potatoes 32 times? That’s once every 3 to 4 days thru the growing season, crazy.

It has to be bilge, 32 passes would mean they must be in the ground over 7 months- probably more considering the fact that there is such a huge delay between planting and pre-em application or anything else.
Woman on the PM debate said she was on a good wage but couldn't pay her bills , ..... some folk are beyond help .

They probably included the irrigation as well, nasty stuff is water.

I did not catch it but a lot of families are living well beyond their means or just can't seem to manage life when it comes to money. I just don't spend money if I don't have it and I would not buy a brand new car irrespective of what my salary was/is.

Feel like I am on a tight rope at the minute, juggling balls.
You just get one thing sorted out and something else falls over.
Still everything to play for but feel it is a close run thing at times.

I wonder if it’s all really that bad, I’m in the UK at the moment and the few farmers I’ve spoken to don’t seem to unhappy.
Much of TFF Agricultural Matters seems to revolve around beef and sheep, what about arable, dairy (the dairy section on here seems more glass half full than Agricultural Matters and livestock) spuds, veg growers, pigs, poultry etc?
Hasn’t farming always been on the verge of complete disaster ?
