Agricultural Catchments Programme to give valuable expansion advice

FARMERS will gain invaluable insights into optimum farming methods for output expansion with the roll-out of the findings of the four-year Agricultural Catchments Programme.

The programme, funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and run by Teagasc, is implemented by a team of researchers, advisers and technicians working closely with farmers.

The programme advisers provide an intensive advisory and planning service to farmers in the catchments to improve the profitability of the farms and help the farmers to implement the Good Agricultural Practice measures contained in the National Action Programme.
