Energy in Agriculture event in Gurteen College

IFA Renewables Chairman James Murphy is encouraging all farmers to attend Energy in Agriculture 2017, taking place next Tuesday, August 22nd, in Gurteen College, Ballingarry, Roscrea.


Mr Murphy said the free event, which is Department of Agriculture Knowledge Transfer approved, will equip farmers with new information and ideas about the opportunities and issues that exist in the renewable energy sector.


He said: “Farmers have made significant strides in improving the sustainability of their agricultural practices and can build on this. Bioenergy and farm scale renewable projects offer farmers the chance to diversify their farm businesses and have the potential to improve farm efficiency and profitability. This event will demonstrate renewables technologies and provide technical and practical advice for farmers.â€
