Decisions around ending the breeding season

The primary reason for shortening the breeding season is to tighten up the following calving season. This is to increase profitability and simplify work load during the coming year. Herds with a very spread out calving pattern generally can’t afford not to milk over the coming winter. Such patterns are higher cost and lower profit systems of milk production. Dairy specialists George Ramsbottom and Joe Patton in a series of videos have information on the economics and advice on the steps to take to correct the calving pattern.

The variation across regions varied from a 12% deficit in Roscommon, Longford, Sligo, Leitrim, Donegal and up to a 30% deficit in parts of West Cork. The results have to be treated with some caution as conditions have deteriorated since the census date. If we assume that half of the second cut has been consumed, Teagasc estimate that the national fodder deficit is now 28%.

Future Weather Future Farming

Weather has always been a factor in farming. Expert analysis of climate change outlines that we can expect increased variability, and more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events. This requires that our farming systems are resilient to weather shocks. Weather is particularly important to tillage farmers, but this year, grassland farmers were severely impacted by poor weather in the summer /autumn of 2012 and the spring of 2013. This was a costly experience for farmers, particularly so on heavy soil farms which are especially vulnerable to wet weather. Teagasc has monitored the situation on the ground over the year, and data from the Teagasc National Farm Survey will show the impact on farm profitability.

Teagasc submission made in response to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine CAP Public Consultation Process

This submission has two principal parts. The first part outlines Teagasc’s responses to some elements of the DAFM Consultative Paper’s questionnaire. The Teagasc position in relation to the definition of permanent grassland and areas of natural constraint, the operation of the Greening Scheme and the Young Farmers Scheme is presented. The second part of the submission describes the findings of an economic analysis of a number of scenarios relating to the Basic Payment Scheme, Voluntary Coupled Support Scheme and Redistributive Scheme. Five scenarios are analysed, each with the same basic convergence model (the so-called internal convergence model) but with differing levels of the Pillar I direct payments budget allocated to coupled support and redistributive payments.

Teagasc Dairy Discussion Groups Evaluation Report

Discussion groups are a key methodology used by Teagasc to transfer knowledge to dairy farmers. Due to the importance of discussion groups and the increased farmer involvement as a result of the Dairy Efficiency Programme, funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Teagasc commissioned this independent evaluation to determine the effectiveness of dairy discussion groups and to identify ways in which these groups could be developed and improved. This evaluation is not an evaluation of the DEP, but it provides useful analysis and feedback on the DEP.

Dairy Discussion Group Innovation Competition Proceedings

Earlier this year, Teagasc, ICBF, Irish Farmers Journal and ACCBank, came together to launch a new, oroject-based competition for dairy discussion groups. The objectives of this new competition were two-fold: To stimulate dairy discussion groups and allow for the development of stronger bonds between members and to encourage the development of profit or lifestyle based innovations for widespread farm adoption. From the initial applications, ten discussion groups were shortlisted. These groups have developed their project proposals through 2012 and will present their final reports at today’s event. This booklet presents a brief summary of each of these ten projects.

Facilitating Farmers’ Establishment of Farm Partnerships

Farm Partnerships, where two or more partners operate their enterprises jointly, are becoming increasingly popular in Ireland with almost 600 formally registered Milk Production Partnerships in existence. Partnerships are associated with wide-ranging economic and social benefits and are identified by Teagasc and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) as critically important to the future development of agriculture. Drawing from research that examined Irish farmers’ experiences of Farm Partnerships, this document identifies some critical factors that warrant careful consideration in the partnership planning process. Benefits of Farm Partnerships are highlighted, as are particularly challenging and contentious factors. A flexible template for a participatory extension process, customised to facilitating the formation of Farm Partnerships in the Irish context, is set out.
