‘We are being walked over’ — tillage farmers angry over dairy expansion
The Teagasc National Tillage Conference in Kilkenny last week

Tillage farmer anger was particularly acute regarding the use of fake slurry movements, which was seen as denying valuable nutrients from tillage farms and driving land rental prices to record highs.
