Sheep
2022 is set to be a challenging year for sheep farmers, with input costs set to erode any potential margins to be made, according to Anne Kinsella.
Tillage
The dramatic fall in income from the cereals sector of some 24% for 2019 was described as a stand-out figure, according to Prof. Gerry Boyle.
Teagasc says that 2019 margins earned on mid-season lowland enterprises will continue to be boosted by the Sheep Welfare Scheme payment.
Teagasc launched its Annual Review and Outlook 2019 this week. The review outlined some predictions for Irish cereal farming in 2019.
Agri-Business
Agricultural inputs soared over the past year, attendees at the Teagasc Annual Review and Outlook for 2019 event heard.
Teagasc launched its sector reports on Tuesday December 5. The good news was that prices and yields were up and costs were down.
Beef
Genomics payments in 2016 will offset falling margins associated with lower cattle prices, Teagasc's Kevin Hanrahan has said.
