Teagasc beef drive

Teagasc has appointed Adam Woods as beef systems scientist, based at the Grassland Research and Innovation Centre, Teagasc Grange, Dunsany, Co Meath.

“The low profitability on drystock farms is a challenge and increasing output on these farms with a focus on increased grass production and utilisation is one of my main priorities,” said Adam Woods.

A native of Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, he was previously a beef specialist with Teagasc, managing the Better Farm Beef programme.
