Teagasc forum helps tillage farmers through tough year

Tillage farmers will find meeting repayment deadlines, or making any additional investments extremely difficult this year, according to a Teagasc financial management specialist.

James McDonnell was speaking ahead of the Teagasc national crops forum at Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge, Co Kildare, on Wednesday, which will examine farm finances and the implications of reduced income.

“Planning now is critical to ensure cash flow is adequate for the rest of the season. Teagasc advisors are well placed to help farmers in the coming months,” he said.
