Hungry and Naked - Thant's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!
As it has been noted at the last Teagasc Cereal Conference at Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Irish farmers observed very low yields, worst grain quality and lowest prices since 1976...While the outputs have fallen from 2.3 million tonnes in 2008 to alarming 1.6 million tonnes this year, many agree that the key problem is not the yield, but extremely high production costs. Traditional plough till and sow routine followed by complete herbicide and fungicide treatments is not working at such low prices, as Matt Dempsey of Farm Journal recently noted. It is absolutely clear that "new thinking is needed in the tillage sector if it is to have a future in Ireland". However, we insist that new thinking alone will not bring prosperity to Irish farmers. ---Hungry and Naked - That's Where We'd Be Without Agriculture!--- What producers must realise is that they must take care of themselves. Will the farming community get the same bailout deal as the banks? Certainly not. The best solution to stop worrying is to start acting!Attending one of our Intelligent Farming Workshops might be the most important step you take this year to educate yourselves on crop production issues and to ensure you are taking full advantage of your resources.
