DEAR SIR

Has Bord Bia lost the run of themselves?

Their remote audit which I am supposed to comply with entails four pages of instructions, followed by 14 photos which have to be forwarded and copies of feed records, spray records, vet records and knackery deliveries.

How do they expect all elderly cattle farmers to be fully literate in computers and iPhones?

To make matters worse, my iPhone won’t work in the office and my slow broadband is incapable of forwarding the information! However, I can assure them that my cattle are well fed and comfortable.
