The @teagasc#BEEF2024 Open Day was officially launched yesterday in Grange. Just under 7 weeks to go until the event takes place on the 26th of June in Grange. The theme of this year's event is 'Securing your Future' and is an event not to be missed!
Interesting day at @DairiesJp Water Quality event on Eugene Fitzpatricks farm. Plenty of burning questions around continuation of the derogation, impact of recent rainfall events on water quality and steps farmers can take to protect water in their local area.
Strong turnout for the @TeagascCrops Spring crop walk at @DrummondsAgri trial site yesterday. The difficult spring was a focal point of discussion and how to manage crops going forward with heavy workload and changing weather patterns. Well done to all involved.
