Well I hail from the similar ancestry, but while I was immune to cold in my teens, anyway sandals in winter snow and I have clear memory of traversing bitter winter drifts with nothing but summer suit and a Crombie overcoat, this almost fifty year old thinks the cold leis an diabhlaíocht.

In the eighties, my best friend's father was into organic farming in the following manner : he'd squish the slugs he happened to find while walking through his crops and that was his pest control over the top of great land husbandry in the tenth generation. My friend taught himself turbo pascal then vb and the farm tax deduction provided a 286 of my unfulfilled dreams. The son was shortly trading in commodity supplies and even derivatives and taking delivery of GPS equipped combines. But I doubt he could have been successful had he not grown up with his father's wisdom.

In the "35 spreadsheets" scenario, I have found Quantrix to be the killer app. Very occasionally, Sharepoint and server side Excel is viable, but if you can import cleanly, Quantrix is almost there for claiming small proprietor mindshare. The beauty of anything that is easily understood as more robust logic, in a proprietors view, is the path that opens for you to work on the tricky bits they'd never let you touch otherwise.

I'd love to hear if there is active sampling of /terrroir/ conditions for modelling and study of the vintages.

Crazy idea: if I wrote software that consistently increases land yield then it is conceivable that some farmer somewhere might be OK with paying me via a commission in land for my personal use? I figured that's impractical individually but for a like minded group of programmers determined to quit the urban economy and potentially springboard into more directly commercial enterprise thereafter? I'm thinking about how so many of the most talented people I know are never going to be able to accumulate capital in property or cfanyhow and sso the most naturally entrepreneurial (to my mind) segment of the economy is neutered and boy this must suit the big name publishers, but it's the potential of the experience and the reversibility of the deal, providing a financial default exit is available in need. I'm still young enough to have such ideas too romantically but old enough to be too familiar with the tax planning and politics and Land law and inherent compliance nuances (because in England Chitty,as in Chitty On Contract, if you peruse the early editions on the archive, began to document the perversity of the English land laws, which I have oft surmised as "two chicken a goat and three hens: rent bill will come again and again ; three hens, a goat and two chicken, landlord can't afford a pot to...

I still say we ignored the Main Street and non-scale non-flow micro-sensitive and disaggregated or rather yet to be aggregated, customers, not whole by reasons superficially readily learned.

Sobel's The First Junk Bond, gives the mechanics of preservation of the vast onshore reserves, until (I don't have the recall but I think Sobel gives the trigger price) $50/B plateaux.

In 95 I wrote the level of inefficiency in agency transactions was 60%.

In 2018, stories on the embedded framework fraud of online advertising buying, gave the same number for the new system's inefficiency.

Print, my world despite the gasping inhalation of every party I speak with, remains almost unchanged in headline volumes, despite the unbroken prophecy of all trade journalism.

If you think into the problem some more, I believe that you will conclude, on the face of the natural problem and without need of further information, that exit from a complicated family concern is the provision of the older generations and never in the realms of practical viability for those who inherit legacy management and ownership.

I am very much interested in knowing your thoughts, should you, on reflection find my point above not to be self evident.
