It was a lovely day.

Broccoli labelled “Irish” – out of season. “Irish Herbs” grown in Kenya & Spain. “Irish Tomatoes” from Spain. Senior officials could not clearly explain how this is happening, what checks are in place, or what penalties apply. Instead, promises to “look into it.”

Flooding Europe with substandard agri products, while holding European farmers to a far higher standard, is profoundly unfair - and will destroy untold livelihoods in Ireland. No to Mercosur.

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know: Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories. Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve. GM crops aren't frankenfood. They cut pesticide

they're even clowning on the AI Coca Cola ad on LinkedIn. It's so beyond over 💀

Bearing in mind that you already have the cheapest food in Europe. State not fit to build a bike shed

The farm that @JessikaRoswall visited south of Kilcullen this morning was appropriate : a father and daughter enterprise with the new young farmer coming back from Australia to take over but now she is facing a 40,000 Euro bill if the derogation in lost . We cannot drop these

Dexter Cattle, a rare native breed, have returned to Áras an Uachtaráin. The Dexter Cattle reduce grass on the grounds ahead of the spring and summer allowing for more species to flower, benefitting nature and soil, as well as promoting the genetic diversity of Ireland’s cattle

IFA Fruit and Vegetable Committee Vice Chair Martin Flynn and IFA Policy Executives Niamh Brennan & Sarah Hanley met with the Agri Food Regulator CEO Niamh Lenehan and her team to discuss key updates on Unfair Trading Practices (UTPs), compliance, data transparency, and upcoming

IFA Kildare and West Wicklow delegates led by County Chair Denis Halpin and Paul O'Brien South Leinster Regional Chair with Cian Mooney Farm Leadership Scheme participants and IFA's Already Leading Group, at the European Parliament in Brussels this week.

Putting solar panels on prime farmland is a disgraceful oversight.

This analysis, from the @CCPCIreland report on grocery prices tells quite a story. Shows that average food prices in 2024 was 1% higher than 2008 levels, lagging way behind other countries. The EU average increase? 58%. Hard to figure why media coverage constantly overlooks this

Disappointing analysis on food price increases in today's Irish Times. Farmers are price takers and don't have the capacity to "push up their prices" as claimed. Also fails to say that the CCPC report also showed that Irish food price levels today are similar to 2008, 16 yrs ago

47% think water should be banned 🤡

The anti-chemical crowd isn’t selling science. They’re selling fear. And they rely on one thing more than anything else: You not knowing any better. The anti-chemical crowd isn’t selling science. They’re selling fear. And they rely on one thing more than anything else: You not

A comprehensive list of everything “chemical-free.”

Nature made cyanide. Science made penicillin. Don’t claim coevolution is a safety certificate.

It's incredible to think that grain is imported at harvest time into Ireland, that is what we face as a sector yearly now , no priority given to native produced grains in the market place-it's belittling and demoralizing and intolerable-where's the support from our Ag Industry?

How can an Irish Tillage Farmer make any sense of CBAM ( Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) . Going to add to d cost of production here via fertilizer price rise yet not being implemented on feedstuffs from the CBAM related countries, making us even less competitive - 🤯
