Teagasc warning: clock is ticking for dairy farmers

Only four months left to comply with N-derogation rules

20 grass measurements, or a grassland management course, is one of eight new 2020 nitrates derogation requirements.

Teagasc has warned that some dairy farmers are currently either unaware of, or have not yet implemented, the new derogation requirements for 2020.

There are a number of additional requirements which the nearly 6,500 farmers who applied for a nitrates derogation in 2020 need to be aware of.
