Prioritise water for farmers instead of data centres.
No farmers, no food
There's going to be major issues in winter no,!?
Wonder if starmers £50 million project to spray the skies in the name of cloud seeding science. is having a negative impact on the islands plant life 🤷♂️👍🇬🇬
Great video. Saw this on RTE Six One News yesterday, hard to know what can be done to deal with the upcoming winter feed shortage? Government support for the extra €4 daily cost now in this case should be possible? Heard of local farmer here in the midlands feeding 50 bales a day to his herd… 350 a week, how can all of that be replaced given the weather forecast, short growing season remaining and fodder issues in Britain and Europe? Is there enough fodder in ROI & NI to maintain these animals if it’s for sale and can be redistributed? Hope the situation improves. Keep up the good work.
You poor devils.
It will all work out in the end Trust in God
Europe Will be unlivable guarantees
Literally EVERY year farmers are giving out about the weather, it's always either too much rain or too little

Get rid of supermarkets for me
90% of Irish produce is exported 85% of food bought in Ireland is imported. Ridiculous. ReThink farming.
