Farmers shooting

[PENTHOUSEJOE]

Do I detect someone having a moan🤕👍🏿

For starters natural, organic fertilisers are not spread throughout the year, the guns you hear do you know what they are? organised shoot? or if they are in the same place each week possibly a clay pigeon shoot.

If you live in a rural area the sights, sounds and smells of the country are one of the joys, or not as the case may be.

I read on another post a complaint ref; smoke from burning fields off, farmers are not allowed to clear fields of unwanted vegetation by burning, would suggest tracking the source of the smoke, probably find it's someone close by with a wood burner or multi fuel stove.

Well you want to tell that to the farmers in Ainsdale as I drove down the Moss and saw the smoke going across the field last year. The whole area is filled with smoke - not a bloody stove idiot.

I live in Scarisbrick, with fields surrounding, and we get the smells and the organised game hunts. Fortunately Game season has just closed, and only Hares are allowed to be shot, the Hare season ends at the end of February. So unless its a clay shoot, I would imagine it will stop soon.

Also you have to take into account that farming is so old, we actually don't know how old it is, both animal and crop growing. Also although the machinery has evolved, actual farming methods haven't changed for hundreds of years.

This reminds me of a pub I stayed in years ago, while we were staying we got chatting to the owners, and they owned the pub in Shropshire for 40 years, a lovely little homely pub, open fires, home made food and live music on a Saturday night. He was telling me about a couple who moved in a few doors down, and started complaining about the noise. It actually ended up in court, luckily the owner won, but another day or another judge and he could have been shut down. All because somebody bought a house near a pub, but didn't like living near a pub.

As was said earlier, You can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

If there were houses close by he should have been more considerate or do you think we should all go around not giving a toss about other people? What a nightmare you must be to live next to!

Nothing changes, more years back than I care to think, I was still at secondary school, like many rural youngsters had been helping out on farms from a very early age driving tractors and using machinery (all illegal now) I had longer summer holidays than most, as I got a bit older was much in demand at harvest time, working for a farmer who did quite a lot of contracting to smaller farmers, this particular day I'm out with a combine, quite dusty and a steady wind, irate lady arrived insisted I stop what I was doing as the dust was blowing across her property, sorry but if you buy a property close or in this case surrounded by farmland, there will be times when you may just be aware of work going on in those fields which may not be to your liking.

Well if it was so windy and the soil was blowing everywhere maybe you should have waited until the wind died down - just like you have to before spraying chemicals on the crops. Maybe you should have used your brain.

Someone's becoming a tad tetchy, life's hard when no-one else agrees with you. If planes aren't a problem then I hear there are some lovely houses in Speke.

Try reading the post, I was driving a combine harvester in a corn field, it was a good dry day, would you prefer that we waited for rain, then of course we couldn't actually harvest the grain, no soil involved.

My brain was fully functioning thank you, very aware that whether you like it or not, getting the grain harvest in was very much the priority.

It's about time you gave yours a dust off and give it a bit of oil to get it moving.
Do you like arguing the toss about every topic, which must be easy for you as only you seem to know everything and no one else is allowed an opinion unless of course it matches yours. You label everyone who doesn't share YOUR views as Racist, Homophobic, Sexist, whateverist it must be tiring being perfect like you asserting your views on every topic.

So let's get this right, you bought a house that is within earshot of rural land and don't like what you hear. Simple answer MOVE.

Not at all, we get on with all our neighbours, we don't complain when they have parties, they don't complain when we have parties, which in fairness doesn't happen very often. We understand that everyone has a right to enjoy themselves, and normally we invite each other to said parties anyway. Other than that we keep ourselves to ourselves.

Unlike some who complain about something that has been going on for centuries, probably before their house was built, let alone before they moved in.

The point Im making is if your going to buy a house, look at what is in the surrounding area, and make an informed decision before buying said house. Don't buy a house and start complaining when certain things are not exactly to your liking. If you have kids, you don't buy a house 100 miles from a school do you, same if you don't want to live near traffic, you don't buy a house on a main road. But there is always an exception to the rule, who don't do any research and then whinge when its not to their liking.

If you are so sure of your facts, report it because straw burning etc in the fields is illegal, clearly all you can do is moan, so who is the idiot then?

Nicely put.
