[curlietailz]

Just popped up on my Facebook as I was googling tree planting. There’s a Facebook page called Tree Planting UK

and I’ve screen shot the following
OMG. Farmers are mostly uneducated ?!!!!!

Anyone reading some of the shyte on here could be excused in having a poor opinion of farmers.

Bad for mental health you say ?

Ahy, thick as shyte... that's me.

But possibly not as naive and simple as can be found on SM like Facebook, uttering their platitudes and nonsense...

Agreed, but should probably point out that this forum is also social media.

Yes but at least all of us have the same brain disorder here... Facebook is a collection of them.

Just ask any of them what they have done apart from being keyboard ecowarriors, how much land do they own, how much do they contribute to charities, how much have they sacrificed? Virtually none of them can give you an answer. I give them 24 hrs to formulate a reply then start the name calling. I'm blocked from loads of pages now. They don't like it up 'em.

Struggling to understand the idea of a sheep monoculture too - I’ve got massive diversity of both flora and fauna here, including trees - and far more than I would if it was planted to trees.

Just to add some balance there are farmers who burn plastic ( next door burn 5000 bales worth),another farmer a few miles from us is renowned for letting his dirty water effluent go down the river when it is in flood.

You have bad apples in every industry however I’m confident most farmers look after their farm environment in a sympathetic fashion.

This thread just reminded me of a particularly entertaining parents evening when one of the teachers told my parents that I was too intelligent to be a farmer! How he wasn't hospitalised by mother is still a mystery!

Sitting on a pole

And whistled down the hole

Most of them have tarmaced the front lawn and put AstroTurf in the back, and put a plastic pot plant out they bought in IKEA

My old A level physics teacher once asked my younger sister what i was doing a coue of years after i had left school. She told him i was at ag collage. His relpy was something along the lines of "I didn't teach him physics just so he could go and be a farmer"! Mind you, we hadn't nicknamed him Mr Muppet for nothing.
