That's right...feckin farmers...the world would be better off without them...why can't they just go to Tesco like the rest of us!
I don't think that's how they'd see it. Any farmers I know work very hard for a relatively small return.
Then why don't they quit farming and go into another profession/industry where rewards are more comensurate with their efforts?
Because of the hardship and low income which they complain about?Why should they?

If they (or the nurses or farmers or whoever) simply decided to swap jobs, I think we'd all be in a right pickle.
Another thing, the farmers I know would not be able to get another job because of factors like age, education, experience, family commitments and what's available where they live. So changing career isn't necessarily an option for everyone.
I'm not an expert - these are just my feelings on the subject.
There was really something quite moving about this. I've seen so many while living here and have become immune to them. This was something very different - "strong words softly spoken" comes to mind. I wish them well with their cause.

At least half of Irish farmers have done exactly that in the past 15-20 years.
Have some of these farmers received Government payments/inducements to do this? I think older farmers get inducements to sign over the family farm to sons/daughters?
