Kieran Coughlan: Looking ahead at farming's future
The outlook for farming has settled over recent months with a major lift in the dairy markets, and a settling of grain prices and input prices such as fertiliser and fuel, writes rural accountant Kieran Coughlan.
Next week, I'll be out and out at AIB's agri seminar on Planning for a Farming Future. Speakers will include Carbery chief executive Jason Hawkins, Teagasc Agri Catchment specialist Eddie Burgess, AIB agri advisor Shane McCarthy, and yours truly.
The event is destined to give a fantastic insight into where the industry is at farm and processor level and, indeed, where we fit into overall government and EU policy objectives.
