@CallananBill Native grain has been shown to be close to carbon neutral ,lowest GHG,ammonia emissions yet it only mainstream farm produce that is not recognised, promoted by any state body .DAFM,BB won't label it , distinguish it from GMO imports with environmental disastrous credentials Why
@fiannafailparty@McConalogue It's not acceptable any more that's this doesn't appy to our grain sector .close to carbon neutral, lowest GHG and ammonia emissions and fully compliant with EU and DAFM rules .Monitored and audited by DAFM and same authorities don't recognise our produce. Disgraceful
Irish grain Growers in Pillo Hotel Ashbourne last night.Promoting low carbon Irish grain and pulses is priority for this group. Representing Irish Tillage at every opportunity is what we are about. Very successful night.
@joehealyfarmer@vonderleyen@eucommission@COPACOGECA Millions of tons of GMO feed coming from Mercurser countries for years Joe and you showed no concerns for effects on Irish growers .Tillage sector has been destroyed by this, and you didn't stand up for them .when it effects livestock sector different story. Double standards Joe.
Whyte Bros farms recognised for many environmental projects carried out on our farm at the FBD better farm awards in the Heritage holel last night.Terrific night and showcasing all that good in Irish farming and food production.
@rtenews This problem has a simply fix. The tugs in court this morning should have been jailed for twenty years straight away. No early release lock them up .change laws on riots to allow straight away jail is only solution. To see these tugs walk out of court today is sickening.
@EamonRyan So Eamonn what your plan to get Irish water and Co Co to pay for wholesale polutation of our rivers. EPA Report clearly show the massive scale of this polutation and surprise surprise they are giving years to rectify polutation.
Would you or EPA treat farming the same .no .
@NatureNymph@pippa_hackett Talk is easy, and this Minister has forgotten that economic is one of three strands of sustainability. Without with the others are not achievable and the farming community will no longer exist. Sure we can import food like the rainforests woodchip and Estonia peat
@bobbymiller73 @hqmulligan@Bordbia@IrishOrganicA @OriginGreen Bobby it's hard to believe that the only mainstream agri sector that's already close to meeting the government emissions targets of 2050 and it's the only mainstream agri produce the national food promotion body don't support or promote it. A nation disgrace
@FJTillage Irish grain Growers asked him to consider government getting involved here through cap with insurance companies. Could be a win for all . Less exposure for government, more certainly for growers, better use of cap funds than what's wasted in administration
@GrowersGrain Teagasc figures show dairy switching to native ration from standard ration including imports reduced the footprint of milk by over 30%.Nothing else that farm could do that would achieve that result . why is DAFM, Bord bia and Teagasc not supporting our native grain and pulses
@Graham_Caswell @NatureNymph@SamCowie84@farmersjournal 1 million ltrs oil taken out of system in one farm in 10 years and DAFM ignore it. Mischantus was grown for Edenderry and they changed burner to one not suitable for Mischantus and got farmers to grow Willow,now they sourced Brazilian woodchip and Willow is left in fields
