I wouldn't be surprised if is some politics going on behind this claimed labour shortage. Probably the government wanting to open the flood gates to non EU cheap labour or some other scam and FRS were eyeing up a juicy management contract for handling it. Just a guess anyway.

The figure of 50,000 acres being taken out of tillage over the last couple of years struck me as one good reason why the machinery dealers are looking glum of late.

I'd think he is speaking the truth for a lot of people to be honest.
And I'd agree with his comments on covering cropping at this time of the year. (Which I see another extension first as well). It must be remembered that Teagasc research on it has shown nothing conclusive yet as far as I recall
Is it just me, but are the various editors gone a bit lazy or something, I know sometimes my spelling here wouldn't be great but this week's edition is riddled with them. That extra 10c must have broken the spell checker :eek3:

I think spelling and grammar in general has gone to the dogs in a lot of publications. I saw a competition advertised during the week inviting participants to "Test You're Knowledge", which amused me no end.I'd think he is speaking the truth for a lot of people to be honest.

Spelling and grammar has never been the Journals strong point.
They are good at adding the sneaky 10c over the past few years.

Another point (page 22) that struck me as odd was that the EU and Mexico appear to have negotiated a trade deal within about a year and yet we are told such agreements take at least 20 years of talking when it it comes to doing the same for a post brexit UK despite the UK presently adhering to the same standards as the EU!

I thought it was ironic this week.
The Bord Bia Man saying that there is limited chance of the premium for Hex and AAX cattle decreasing in the short term.
Yet turn on a few pages to the Factory reports and it is reported that HEX and AAX cattle are being quoted 5c below the base price :rolleyes2:

Farm workers are not in short supply after all it seems and sourcing workers from outside of the EU is not an option according to the Department of Business, enterprise and innovation. So who's nose will be put out of joint over that? Teagasc, IFA, FRS or even IFJ itself?
And why such a stupid long name for a government department?

The very thought occurred to me, or enterprise and innovation come to that.

That's where farming is going wrong. 'Business, employment and export earnings generation unit' sounds so much better than just 'farmer' and might catch the attention of the government.

You can call it what you want but when the two senior govermnent officials are both from Dublin, their interest in any rural subject stops about a half mile outside the M50
