I’m currently staying with a farmer with 60ish head of cattle near Galway. We had this exact conversation last night. The government paid schemes truly are something special.

Irish farmers been sucking on the tit HARD for a long time, they wouldn't know where to begin getting weaned off it.

They are confused now, they don't understand that the government does not have their best interests at heart, and that this is a fight for their survival.

I've a lot of respect for farmers , I know enough of them , but like everything in this country, they've gone soft.

Farmers will go the way of fishermen if they don't roll up their sleeves and start throwing a few digs.

Completely agree. Compliance seems to come readily after all the monetary lubrication.

Turns out free money isn't free, it's the cost of compliance.
