I just don’t get it. I spent most of the day today doing work on the farm , trying to get a damn stubborn calf to drink from a bucket . I don’t get how these ‘farmers’ have the time to clog up half the country .

I feel like we're conflating "farm owners" and "farmers" right? Like if they did any actual farming they wouldn't be on a jaunt up to Dublin. Farmers famously don't take days off.

A lot of those tractors all belong to the same contracted labour firm. Apparently they left the company stickers on.

Exactly. I cant think of any credible farmer (during Spring) , burning a few tanks of (very expensive ) diesel to saunter up the motorway and block up half the bloody national road network .
