On Agritime this week, dairy farmer and Kerry County Councillor Brendan Cronin criticizes the exclusion of dairy farmers from the fodder support scheme. He says the Agriculture Minister must live in some kind of make believe world where he thinks dairy farmers have electric tractors or solar powered silage harvesters. We've advice on weed control on farm land; Teagasc has last minute advice on applying for the BPS Scheme; we hear about a new environmental scheme which pays farmers involved in Kerry Social Farming to manage hedgerows, wildflower meadows and nesting boxes for barn owls and kestrels and all the mart and factory prices.
