With a lot of farmers having transitioned to dairy since the abolition of quotas, some of their neighbours have watched on in disgust, with some branding them as ‘sell-outs’.
Let’s take a look inside the mind of some of those people:
- “Oh, he’ll be sorry.”
- “He won’t have time to go to mass.”
- “He has no shortage of money anyway…”
- “He’ll be back, they always end up back where they started.”
- “What the hell is my young fella doing over there? He better not be getting ideas.”
- “Liquid gold? More like white slurry..”
- “I wonder has he any colostrum for me?”
- “Next thing he will be looking to buy my place. I’d like to see him try.”
