Over 1,300 at Beet Ireland meetings

HUNDREDS of farmers have signed expressions of interest in Beet Ireland’s attempts to restart sugar beet processing in Ireland.

Many of them were among estimated attendances of more than 1,300 at meetings over the past two weeks at Cork, Athy, and Enniscorthy.

Farmers can also sign expressions of interest at co-ops and agricultural merchants in the main tillage areas.
