Farmers look to Government for guide on crops for energy
It's time the Government got down to defining the best way forward in providing an alternative to fossil fuels, said Simon White, Askeaton, in a recent Limerick IFA discussion of the fuel price spike.
He said the cost of fuel is becoming a crucial issue for farmers, and IFA too should be examining closely the opportunities for farmers to devote some of their land to growing crops for energy and fuel, now that it is becoming possible to produce oil from farm crops cheaper than imported supplies.
