Environment
A family-owned agri-business that has failed in its contentious bid to secure planning for an anaerobic digestion (AD) facility.
Agri-Business
Potato farm business Country Crest has been ordered to pay over €88,000 to a neighbouring business after spray drift caused damage to apples.
Country Crest and Tesco Ireland confirmed the supply of potatoes, onions and sweet potatoes to all Tesco stores nationwide and for online shopping.
Beef
Meat factories are being urged to "pay farmers properly" and to "understand the crisis" farmers are in by Michael Hoey.
Starting out as "the new kid on the block" and dealing with the horsemeat scandal were tough hurdles for Michael Hoey at Country Crest.
Country Crest has secured a €60 million deal with Tesco Ireland. The company will supply Tesco with 65,000t of produce between now and 2020.
A new product range established by Tesco Ireland has saved almost 300t of 'perfectly good' onions from being composted or going to waste.
The Hoey brothers behind Country Crest have gone from being fourth generation farmers to epitomising the farm to fork concept in Lusk.
Machinery
This John Deere 4055 has been given a new lease of life after it was picked up at a Bord na Mona machinery auction two years ago.
