Salvage guidelines help farmers minimise losses after Storm Darwin

Farmers minimised their losses from storm damage by following salvage guidelines, Teagasc said.

Teagasc, the agriculture and food development authority, said it was pleased to see a large number of farmers attending two recent events on managing storm damage in farm forests. The sector is recovering from the devastating consequences of the recent Storm Darwin.

The events were hosted by Teagasc in association with Coillte and the Forest Service, DAFM, agriculture junior minister Tom Hayes, and Gerry Boyle, director of Teagasc.
