Farmers need market advice

IRISH farmers could do with better marketing advice.

Cattle buyers are generally in the dark about what their eventual selling price will be. With the grain harvest nearly completed, many growers still do not know what their final price per tonne will be – and probably will not know for several weeks.

Maybe some farmers like it like that, and rely on their personal skills at assessing the market to keep them a step ahead and know when to strike a deal.
