Farm advisory service Teagasc has opened telephone advice lines for farmers struggling with the ongoing wet weather and also a fodder register to help deal with any shortages.
As rainfall continues to soak much of the country and keeps grassland and tillage fields unusable for the moment, farm advisory service Teagasc has opened telephone advice lines for farmers struggling with the ongoing wet weather and also a fodder register to help deal with any shortages.
According to Dr Stan Lalor, Teagasc Director of Knowledge Transfer, fodder shortages are not widespread but do exist in some areas. The new telephone helplines will operate six days a week from 9am until 9pm and will offer farmers advice on managing through the current difficult period.Farmers can also leave messages if they cannot get through and will get a call back.
Meanwhile financial institutions have been offering support to farmers to help get them through this period where they are facing increased expense from ongoing housing of animals or lack of cashflow.
