Malting Company of Ireland’s Post

Launched today: Agrecalc will be providing carbon footprint calculations in the cutting-edge project - ‘NUE-Leg’, lead by Germinal and funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). This on-farm trial and research project is set to exploit major innovations in plant breeding, soil microbiology, nutrition and grassland management to achieve improvements in the capacities of legumes, such as white and red clovers, in combination with soil microbes, to fix nitrogen from fresh air and make this available to grasslands. We are hugely excited to be working together with a number of partners: Aberystwyth University, Origin Enterprises Plc, The James Hutton Institute, DOVECOTE PARK LTD, Pilgrim's UK, Müller UK & Ireland, LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming), and the Centre for Innovation Excellence in Livestock (CIEL), as well as a number of demonstration farms.

🌾 The backbone of agriculture: Agricultural Associations! 🌾 In the vast landscapes of America, agricultural associations are the unsung heroes, supporting farmers, ranchers, and stakeholders across the industry. From providing educational programs to fostering community connections, these associations play a pivotal role in shaping the success of our agricultural landscape. 📚 Knowledge Powerhouse: Offering workshops on cutting-edge technologies, animal husbandry best practices, and financial management skills, they keep producers ahead of the curve. 🤝 A Network of Support: Regional and national conferences provide opportunities for networking with industry experts, troubleshooting challenges, and sharing successes, strengthening the agricultural community. 💼 Market Mavens: Helping members find new markets and bypass traditional channels, they increase profit margins and connect farmers directly with consumers and partners in the supply chain. 🚜 Farm-Focused Events: From livestock shows to farmers markets and field days, these events celebrate the dedication and skill of farmers while fostering community connections and educating consumers about the origins of their food. 🌱 Benefits Beyond the Farm Gate: By ensuring a secure food supply, contributing to economic growth, and bridging the gap between farmers and consumers, agricultural associations have a far-reaching impact on society. As we look ahead, these organizations will continue to adapt and innovate, ensuring agriculture remains vibrant and successful for generations.
