Not all of us need to rely on Gogle to gain some sort of idea of the state of the world, we actually live in it instead.

The woes of the tillage sector are widely known and I am not belittling the situation by any means, but farmers are farmers and will continue to farm. However, there will be less investment in capital items such as machinery and buildings, or so one would have thought, but the strange thing is that tractor sales were 47% up last month from September 2024! Although it must be said that the dairy sector is enjoying something of a boom despite the recent backing off from peak prices.

Yeah but "some idea" is not enough for many of us including farmers who stay on-line for the latest reports.
Of course in regard to agricultural produce, many of us enjoy the live experience buying food. Was going to buy a white cabbage but upon examination it appeared green and odd shaped, the label stated (in dunnes stores☘️) 'Holland' - Wow, Ireland cannot produce its own cabbage, other days it's potatoes etc
Consulting on-line regarding the apparent deficit, we tend to get a fuller picture, a detailed accurate idea of current trends which can easily be compared with other times & places.
Never say no to education dear Fish.🤩

Err.. you were the one wading in with waffle from the mainstream press which was based on comments from a farming lobbying group. I was actually quoting figures that were published last week by the farm machinery trade organisation and a couple of the big dairy co-ops.

But anyway, what has this to do with cabbages?

A lot of tractor sales are for construction drawing trailers.
Check the gearboxes and hitches before you buy.
The gear boxes take a hammering.
A few maybe, but I wouldn't put it above a handful, there just aren't the large construction projects that demand them at present.

I would suggest that this is more a problem on older tractors for most modern tractors are now built for transport work, haulage plays a much larger part in farming nowadays and they are as happy on the road as they are in the field. The JCB Fastrac is the classic example but most medium to large machines have a 40 or even 50kph road speed capability.

Nothing! - This being "us-politics" Am way off topic here this evening.
Seems that it's me who's in need of "education" at the moment.

Fair play to you MAF.
On the subject of field scale veg Ireland does produce plenty of of its own, Country Crest, for instance, grows millions of lettuces a year over County Dublin way and Lidl's onions are grown in Co Cork, but it is a specialist business that is capital and labour intensive.

The fasttrac is a cracking machine for the road aspect of haulage.
Very expensive and yhe construction tractor gets a tough life because the guy driving doesn't own it and the machines get moved on pretty regularly.
I hear them on the road getting driven to the rev limiter past the house.

The girlies have their panties all in a twist over the following from 'Bluesky' and reported in that famous TDS publication 'dailyboulder.com'.

“Trump’s conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr"

The absolute stench of desperation from Pervert and his Degenerate mates is pure comedy gold.:LOL::LOL::LOL:

Pinggggggg (or maybe not. #control)😎

Take a look at it's home page and at any section from news to entertainment to politics etc.
All Pervert's wank material on a single website, although I didn't notice a pedophile section, maybe that's for subscribers only.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Keeping the peace.

Pakistan and India are ‘going to live very nicely together’ – Trump​

The US president has again claimed that his intervention resulted in peace between the South Asian neighbors
Pakistan and India are ‘going to live very nicely together’ – Trump

US President Donald Trump has said Pakistan and India are “going to live very nicely together.”
Trump made the remarks on Monday at the signing ceremony of the declaration endorsing the ceasefire in Gaza at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.
“India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top and he's just done a fantastic job. I think Pakistan and India are going to live very nicely together,” Trump said.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who was standing behind the US president when he made the remarks, responded by calling Trump a “man of peace,” and praised his efforts to end several conflicts.
“Today again I want to nominate the great president for the Nobel Peace Prize because he has not only brought peace in South Asia but saved millions of lives,” Sharif said. “I would like to salute you for your exemplary leadership and I think the world will remember you as the man who went out of his way and stopped eight wars.”
A terrorist attack in India's Jammu and Kashmir in April killed 26 civilians, prompting New Dehli to retaliated with strikes in Pakistan. A brief conflict followed before a ceasefire was announced between the two neigbors.
Before New Delhi could announce an end to the fighting, Trump posted on social media that a deal between India and Pakistan had been reached following a “long night of talks” mediated by Washington. New Delhi has repeatedly denied the claim.
Trump has also said he threatened to impose tariffs on the South Asian neighbors if they didn’t stop fighting. This has also been refuted by the Indian government.
Several US officials have repeated Trump’s claims on using trade as a means to stop the military confrontation. In May, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the US Court of International Trade that the India-Pakistan ceasefire “was only achieved after President Trump interceded and offered both nations trading access with the United States to avert a full-scale war.”

Just to reiterate, this is what the Degenerate Perverts, including Pervert who posts here, are getting excited about.

“Trump’s conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr"

Ya gotta laugh. These idiots have no idea how the world runs.

Perhaps Pervert can answer why Biden allowed two wars start under his watch, one in Palestine and one in Ukraine?
How many Degenerate Party owned companies will be getting the contracts to rebuild these backward kips?

Burisma/Hunter Biden, anyone???

So, either Pervert is sheltered and innocent or he's just a partisan degenerate looking for attention as usual.
I know which one it is.
TINA.

Joe Biden was 100% Gimp of the American Deep-State / Dark-State ~ ~ That explains the Joe Biden presidency.

It does remain to be seen what % Gimp all the American Presidents have been, since the American Deep-State / Dark-State murdered JFK ? !

American politics is a circus, a total farce.

Behind closed doors the Degenerates and The Republicans get on just fine as they divvy up the contracts, the insider trading and all the other scummy things politicians do.
With ALL politicians just follow the money.

There was a programme on TV running called 'The Roast Of (insert name here)
Clinton was on it, Trump was on it, all the big shots and it's a programme with them and some comedians where they attack and ridicule each other. Afterwards ya can see then high-fiving and hugging each other like it's all some big game to them. A circus.

I guess attention seeking idiots like Pervert think it's a serious programme. :cool:
