Farmers using Teagasc walks to upskill and network

THE Teagasc organic demonstration farm walks are in full swing, with seven still to come, covering a range of enterprises across the country.

Upcoming walks will include beef, sheep, poultry, pigs, tillage, field scale and market garden horticulture, direct selling, dairying, biodiversity and farm shops.

Most walks will feature more than one of these areas in the one visit, and all walks start at 2pm. I spoke to Teagasc organic advisor Patrick Barry about this year’s walks.
