Extraordinary insight into the stabbing of a little 5 year old girl in Dublin. Please listen to the end, it’s worth it.

I've heard it repeatedly over the last few weeks...'Irish flour is no good for bread making'. Well that might suit the narative but its certainly not factually correct.
Ireland imports 5.5 million kilograms of flour weekly! Mad when growing good wheat for flour can be done here and it’s happening in Monaghan - wheat to mill to bread, and organic! Can we get back to a flour mill in each county? All on @RTECountryWide Countrywide this Saturday

Russian invasion of Ukraine will cause world shortage of grain over next 2 years. A very short timeframe available for @agriculture_ie to work with farmers and help increase the tillage acreage for the coming year @AgrilandIreland @farmersjournal
Hard to believe ground conditions would be so good for December. Lynx spring beans going in at 5inches last night. @seedtechnology @Quinnslimited @GrowersGrain

Not a tillage farmer, so couldn't really comment. My point is that this morning on radio, they were stating that farmers could grow crops for biofuel. My pt, we've been there, done that & gov minister of the day @EamonRyan destroyed the industry

Water quality is deteriorating while one secor of agriculture has expanded dramatically. The above post from teagasc is an attempt to hide this fact of who is responsible for the deterioration of water quality.
The above 2 sites are not true or fair comparison.

Tillage #fact of the day 👇
The carbon footprint of the sector is around 1.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per hectare. This footprint is only 14% of the estimated carbon emissions per hectare for an average dairy system, about 30% of the emissions per hectare of a typical beef farm.
GRASS FED MY HOLE. #grasstomilk Great article, well done.It's a wonder it was allowed to be published. @PeadarWhyte @jwhyte46 @GrowersGrain @kildarefarmer @horschwhisperer
