In south armagh, on the very edge of Northern Ireland, for nearly 100 years. You would not think there was a border. Many times youre across the border and you dont realise it. The no deal is a chaos its going to be. Nobody seems to know what we can do. Stock you can hold on, but your milk has to. Tanks full every other day.
