Open day will show farmers how to reduce fertiliser costs

BEEF and dairy farmers will be given examples of how to reduce fertiliser costs during an open day at the Teagasc Solohead Research Farm in Co Tipperary on Thursday.

The event, organised by Teagasc and Tipperary Co-op, will focus on increasing the profitability of grass-based milk and beef production.

It will be particularly relevant this year as dairy and beef farmers seek to reduce the costof production on their farms.
