Farm statements on-line

Car Tourismo Banner

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has announced that nitrogen and phosphorus statements for the period January 1 to September 30 are available on-line for all farmers registered with agfood.ie.

These statements are a valuable tool, especially for the more intensive farmers, and should assist them in deciding whether or not they need to change their farming practices before the end of the year to stay within the limits set down in the Nitrates Regulations.

The department also confirmed that it will notify certain farmers in the coming days of their interim nitrogen and phosphorus statement covering cattle numbers held on the farm for the nine month period up to September 30. This will be done by text message.

This follows on from a similar exercise earlier this year for the six month period from January to June. Farmers not already registered for agfood.ie can do so by logging onto www.agfood.ie<http://www.agfood.ie> and clicking the ‘Register’ button.
