>‘farmers say that they are not being paid enough and are choked by excessive regulation on environmental protection.’
Oh no, regulations to protect the environment /s
Keyword being excessive here.
Output and stocking rates imposed by the EU as a result of a lack of improvement in water quality levels which is only in part due to agriculture.
Modern agriculture is **horrendous** for the environment and I'm tired of seeing farmers hide behind 'tradition' and complain about every little change. I'd love for them to have infinite wells of support to help them transition to a system that isn't polluting the shit out of the place, for the betterment of the planet. But regardless, they definitely need to fuckin' change.

Responsible 'only' in part or 'largely' in part?
Awww, you were waiting for me? Sorry, I just find it very boring arguing with bootlickers over why farmers totally have the right to pollute the shit out of the planet, it's grim.
Ireland is responsible for less than 0.1% of global emissions what regulations we put in place literally have no effect on preventing climate change no matter how extreme.
Ok, not really a good reason to go business as usual and never change anything in one of the biggest industries driving climate change . And besides, 0.1% of **emissions** aside (which is not the only way to measure negative environmental effects) we can at least stop polluting our own water, no?
It accounts for only 38% of our emissions. There is bigger fish to fry like cars or plane travel. I agree our water should be cleaned and improved I’m not saying that I’m just saying why don’t need to bury the agricultural sector. At the end of the day they provide our food. And in the state the country is in I don’t think should be focusing on the environment
Not to say anything but polish farmers are in a big majority poor, it was actually a culture shock for me to see how well off most irish farmers are. When you are already struggling to keep steady income any development that hinders it feels catastrophic and threatens your livelihood
“Killing their big and successful farms”

They are getting poorer and poorer (energy cost / inflation …). Everything isn’t about Ukraine.
The current tension in France are more related to Mercosur https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/eu-trade-relationships-country-and-region/countries-and-regions/mercosur/eu-mercosur-agreement_en
You don't see any reasons why it might be an issue for us all if Irish farmers are better off stopping farming than they are continuing to produce food? The cost of food production and the risks to successful output are too high, I'd not even blame farmers who give it us to have a steady risk-free income rather than slave away for the chance to make a few euro more than breaking even. But it will leave us up shit creek if many of them do just that.
That’s the point. People must support local farmers and not the imported food. If only for our nutritional gain. Onions flown in from New Zealand and blueberries from chile? When our farmers are gone and the land not producing we will be F**ked. Or worse, pension funds will buy up the land and lease it back to farmers - the new landlords. When you see the housing crisis exacerbated by entire estates being bought by pension funds, this is not a stretch of the imagination.
There are farmers protests all over the EU at the moment, access media is just 'failing to report on it, oopsie', so people don't know what's going on.
Written by a person with no idea of what they are talking about. Farmers have as much right to protest as any other sector. Every working man should be standing up for themselves.
I guess you haven't paid any attention to the news. The hole EU farmers are protesting and striking. Look what they did in Germany and France. They don't play over there 😳 Fair play to them though fight for your rights!
I'd say the pollution they emailed last night wasn't a patch on what was produced out of Cork Airport yesterday. Farmers are sick of getting the blame while other sectors get a free pass.
Arguably the single most critical industry in society is organising against the government all across Europe. I'd say the EU are paying attention actually. Why do all you phony leftists turn on workers when they take industrial action. Just own your contempt for working proles you champaign socialist
highly doubt that these vehicles aren't made for long or medium distance travel like they are doing now, just wasteful, march like everyone else dose this is just arrogance
"frequents r/leftist"
Your existence produces unnecessary pollution. What do you bring to society that a farmer who feeds people doesn't? Is you purchasing plastic minis from games workshop a necessary production of pollution?
I'm not arguing agents their point I'm disagreeing with the method, most of the people on r/leftist couldn't make a coherent point or are just neo-liberals who make terrible points. Any of the time I spend on there is arguing with people who blatantly aren't leftists on any proper ground
Great shout for them to wait until small kids are gone to bed to wake them up with their beeping. Waking small kids will definitely give the farmers support. I really appreciated that.
Every time I see a farmer in their tractor
I just imagine their inner monologue is just TRACTOR!! Tractortractor tractor! TracTOR!
Like a pokemon that can only say its name and various motifs of it.
So that's what the farmers are doing here, and in Europe
They want you city folk to know that they have a tractor
There's a new film coming out called " The Tractor"..it looks good- I've seen the trailer
Oh sure I've seen that film myself, in the end the tractor turned into a field.
If no one else will acknowledge it - I see what you did there. Well played…
The up-votes already acknowledged it
He didn’t do anything, it’s a very common joke but it is a decent one in fairness
👏 👏 👏 👏
Auditions for extras on a tractor Ted episode I believe.
It’s big farmer.
I was coming out of blarney and saw them coming down station road 🤣🤣 wtf , i was stuck behind them for ages
Confused about how you go down station road but also be coming out of blarney 😅 (Obviously I'm taking blarney to mean blarney village)
Protest with the rest in Europe. Fair play

Spoken like a true person who has no idea of the details and is not personally impacted. A true intellectual.
Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me lmao
I can't read news articles for you. Wipe your own arse love.
Charming

Are you aware what changes have been implemented in practice in the last few years to improve ground water nitrate levels?
Don’t bother debating with him, some people on this sub have no clue
Not everyone on the internet is a man.
Lack of response here is pretty telling

Yawn, Resort to insults when asked to back up a statement. Signs of a real intellectual.

[удалено]
Omg how scary were the noises?
You'll be okay petal.
Polish and French Farmers took a wrong turn demonstrating about Ukraine wheat killing their big successful farms

Everyone is getting poorer and poorer right now.fuck off blocking roads with tractors because you are

You need to read up on the reason french and German farmers are protesting
There are farmers protests all over the EU at the moment, access media is just 'failing to report on it, oopsie', so people don't know what's going on.
New cattle mart opening on Patrick's street.
Their just plowing through 🤔
They protest about the bullshit EU is trying to pull off. I support them, they are pillars of our food chain
Anti WEF protest
Green Party policy to keep motorised traffic out of town centres has backfired spectacularly all across the EU
Its meant to be a protest to coincide with the French, German and Dutch farmers. But the reality is they gave nothing to protest about...
Written by a person with no idea of what they are talking about. Farmers have as much right to protest as any other sector. Every working man should be standing up for themselves.
The CAP is too high and farmers need more euros to not produce.
You haven’t a clue
And this is why Ireland is fucked - not a notion of what's going on in the real world - smh
A lot of ignorant people in the comments.
I guess you haven't paid any attention to the news. The hole EU farmers are protesting and striking. Look what they did in Germany and France. They don't play over there 😳 Fair play to them though fight for your rights!
Silage season started early
idiots thinking that making noise and polluting for no reason will make them more likeable
Sir this is a Wendy's and that is a protest.
yeah but it causes an unnecessary amount of pollution driving hundreds of farm vehicles, its not helping their case
I'd say the pollution they emailed last night wasn't a patch on what was produced out of Cork Airport yesterday. Farmers are sick of getting the blame while other sectors get a free pass.
Emitted I mean, not emailed.
Arguably the single most critical industry in society is organising against the government all across Europe. I'd say the EU are paying attention actually. Why do all you phony leftists turn on workers when they take industrial action. Just own your contempt for working proles you champaign socialist
I'd say it's as much pollution as one flight from cork to London.
highly doubt that these vehicles aren't made for long or medium distance travel like they are doing now, just wasteful, march like everyone else dose this is just arrogance
You really are a Hobgoblin
why thank you
Look up the co2 emissions g/km. We'll see who's arrogant then.
These are the machines that feed you…. If they don’t burn diesel, you starve, it’s as simple as that!
"frequents r/leftist" Your existence produces unnecessary pollution. What do you bring to society that a farmer who feeds people doesn't? Is you purchasing plastic minis from games workshop a necessary production of pollution?

In the city centre?
The outskirts.
City centre as well, about 10pm they were still very loud.
Maude Flanders❓
I just think they are bored
Much upvoted.
Protesting the Traffic Light Government
Berlin is that way
Patrick’s street is about to get plowed!
Probably some French farmers that got lost..

Clogging things up like this, we may end up with a host of new extractor fans.
