Vampires, They would invest in anything that makes them money. My family are 32 years (Yes, 32 full years) invested in our piece of Forestry from initial planning, through permission, through planting, through initial pruning, yearly maintenance for "30 YEARS". That is 30 years of walking many acres of forest. 30 years of spotting the good and issues that need attention. We did the planting ourselves, but we are rare that way.We have good advisers in terms of tree health but we are on our own in terms or where this crop ends up. All I am saying is for anybody, anywhere( we are in Ireland) with a hard earned crop, don't get shafted by smiling boys who would not line out for real work.Don't be Soft, be a Man.
I fully agree. As a retired timber worker, I found myself getting more and more angry at these three chinless wonders exploiting the hard graft of men that invested their sweat equity in the land. To us, it was a way of life, and a love of managing nature, but to these vampires, it's just money, money, money.
