Tillage
A change of attitude is needed if the tillage sector is to have a bright future, according to the Irish Grain Growers Association.
Straw prices have increased recently, just as the calving season begins to get underway, with prices now averaging €25/bale.
Most tillage farmers will be digging into their Basic Payment to pay their bills following poor harvest conditions this year, according to a spokesperson for the IGGA.
