Organic beef research farm to be developed at Johnstown Castle

The 40-hectare Kildavin farm in Johnstown Castle in Co Wexford is set to prepare for organic conversion this summer.

According to Joe Kelleher, Teagasc organic specialist, there has been an "unprecedented increase in the number of farmers converting to organics over the past two years, including a significant number of beef farmers".

Teagasc is developing an organic beef research farm at Johnstown Castle, Co Wexford. 

The 40-hectare Kildavin farm at Johnstown Castle is set to prepare for organic conversion this summer before the first influx of organic weanlings arrives on the farm in the autumn time.
