You want to see my meat?

I'm beginning to think the farming industry should be nationalised

Just the factories or the farms also?

I wonder who could be behind this post?

Processing and retail sale of meat products are both good examples of a competitive market. If Irish farmers feel like they are getting shafted it's probably due to the supply of international meat bringing the price down.

>If Irish farmers feel like they are getting shafted it's probably due to the supply of international meat bringing the price down.
Foreign beef is generally shite by comparison to Irish beef though. The real issue is consumers selecting inferior products. Now whether that is down to price or consumer ignorance is another question. Probably a bit of both.

I have not eaten beef in years. This whole thing is my fault.

>s*ccer
>all those quintessentially Irish things
Weird juxtaposition.

Also, the Rubberbandits have no place there. This isn't Jow Forumsireland.

The farmers are sharpening their pitchforks outside your front gate as we speak.

Imaging the state of the place if the likes of you or the Healey Raes were in power. shudder to think. If farmers aren't able to make money farmers, maybe they should become programmers, instead of disallocating our resources through handouts

If they wanted my business they should have invested in pork.

Good to see you're still healthy, Yikes.

Define healthy.

that's true in other countries, probably not here though 95% of the beef you get here is Irish. We could do more to promote our brand abroad.
Americans pay premium for 'grass fed beef'

Capable of shitposting coherently.

Not yikes, just a guy with a dislike for parochial politics. Probably didn't do myself any favours with that programmers comment.
fuck off Yikes

Shitposting is a sign of illness, mentally at least.

>competitive market
Sure, Laurence Goodman. Processors in this country are basically a cartel and large supermarkets chains I won't even get started on.
Bottom line is retail chains make profits, meat processors make a profit, farmers make next to nothing. And that isn't just for beef farming. Lot of reports in recent weeks in relation to tillage farmers as well being put to the pin of their collar because the supermarket chains dictate to them when they need the product, how much they will pay for it etc.
The elite who own these companies make billions whilst the people who toil 365 days a year struggle to keep the proverbial food on the table.

>muh toil
The reality is that farming has had technological improvements over the past 30 years, like any other industry, small and medium sized farmers are now at a distinct disadvantage, as many of these improvements require a certain economy of scale to truly reap the benefits. So with that in mind should we subsidise the lives of small farmers while simultaneously making farming as a whole less efficient, or should we move with the times and accept that being a farmer doesn't guarantee you a living.
Farming is a business.

Farming for most farmers is not a business, it's a way of life, all they know

Guy who went to my secondary school died

Was he the guy who took the drugs or the guy in Lanzarote? Or somebody else entirely?

This is Ireland, lots of young men commit suicide. It could be that.

You can't really benefit from economies of scale in the likes of beef farming as you can in other industries. And "big farmers" also aren't making money, if they are solely in beef and dry cattle.

Can you imagine the raw sexual energy emanating from a hungry Sersh? She sees you walking home with a takeaway curry cheese chip. Her mouth salivates with each bite you take until she's visibly drooling. Suddenly she can't contain herself and waddles towards you. She grabs the box out your hands and wolfs them down, often forgetting to chew. Before you can even comprehend what's happened she's already finished, and wanting more. She tries sucking the curry stained on her jumper but it's not enough. Then she looks at you. Her eyes fixed on your curry cheese covered fingers. She grabs your hands with full force and starts licking them sensually. Her eyes are flickering and she's already moaning. Before long she can't even stand anymore. She falls to her knees, still keeping a deathgrip on those delicious fingers of yours. You try to break free but she's too strong. You're also afraid if she falls over her colossal weight will crush your legs to powder. Suddenly you're being dragged down. Before long she's stuck your hand down into her leggings and you can feel her moist warm interior. At this point this is happening whether you want it or not so you decide to go along with it. Her hairy cunt makes you itch but you don't care. She makes no effort to hide her pleasure. Surely people inside their homes are now listening to sound of Saoirse Ronan orgasming on the street. She's so loud she drowns out the music being played in the nearby underage disco. Her crotch is soaking wet and it's clear her body can't take much more. She lets out one final joyous roar and collapses on the footpath. You wipe your hand on her jumper and give it a sniff. Still smells of curry cheese chips.

The vast majority of Irish farmers work their holes off. The "technological improvements" have made farming harder, not easier. Have you seen the complexity (nevermind the expense) that's in a modern combine harvester? A breakdown can cost you thousands in repairs, on the mechanics timeline, while your corn/straw sits there and the rain is coming.

Modern farmers have to be part biologist, driver, construction worker, mechanic (for various different machines- compare a combine to a sprayer to a plough, it's not like working on pretty generic cars all day)), vet, steelworker (a welder is pretty much mandatory), accountant/legal clerk to deal with all the regulations and red tape.

All this while the IFA does fuck all for them and the EU/Dept of Ag fucks them over with regulations. A farmer near me got a Dept inspection and the inspector wanted him to prove that his housecat (not even on the farm) was wormed. I'm sure places like Italy and Brazil are following all those rules and regulations to the letter.

>not being into dairy
Plebs.

>and the EU/Dept of Ag fucks them over with regulations
I'm from a farming background, but it's always frustrating to hear farmers complaining about the EU despite the fact that CAP keeps the vast majority of them afloat.

Surely if the modern EU actually cared (because if they cared in the past they are beginning to care a lot less now) they wouldn't be allowing imports of meat either full of hormones, produced by underpaid workers or lacking the likes of traceability and stringent regulation.

Have you given up on Una Healy?

It's becoming less and less likely that the Mercosur deal will be passed in its current form. Plus, a big part of the existing deal was the requirement that any beef exported from the Mercosur countries meet EU standards. It doesn't mean it will be nice, but at least it will be safe. Consumers will vote with their feet.

>Consumers will vote with their feet.
Yes, consumers are SO trustworthy. Just like how consumers would kill bad practices like DLC in gaming by voting with their wallet.

I never said that they were. We may not like it, but Irish beef farmers do not have an entitlement to EU consumers. Again, consumers will vote with their feet should Mercosur come to pass. As I said originally, it will come down to both cost and levels of ignorance.

We're all fucked. The hordes of Dubs will sweep every bit of cheap meat off the shelves and spend the rest on cans and footie accumulators.

By the way, did you know Dubs have to use barbed wire to protect their homes and gardens from trespassers? Pretty crazy.

Why did you repeat yourself without adding anything new to what he said?

The farms, but there's probably room to break up monopolies and cartels in processing, perhaps nationalisation would be better for them too. I don't know all that much about processors but I can imagine it's bad.
I'm no expert but it seems to me that apart from (((large farms))) the surviving small farmers are basically kept afloat by subsidies, and the EU regulates things so that farms' output is not really free market by any means, and only capitalist in the sense of being structured so as to direct wealth to the owners of capital.
Ireland really shouldn't be importing any food that can grow in this climate, but instead we're importing basic foods so as to allow bigger countries to take our money instead of us being self-sufficient. That's really the only thing I can say with complete confidence is fucked up.

>Why did you repeat yourself without adding anything new to what he said?
But I addressed everything he said.

>did you know Dubs have to use barbed wire to protect their homes and gardens from trespassers?
I would too.

You'd think they'd be better at it then.

Processors are where you should be starting. Start at the top, that's where the money is.
Could do retailers too but that would affect much more than just the meat market.

Those subsidies are subject to terms. It's not just free money for growing food. Things like 3 crop rule. And an awful lot of farmers got their payments late, which fucked them over when it came to debts, taxes, and other finances.

Redpill me on processors and retailers.
