There has been a venue change for the Beet Ireland/IFA meeting that is scheduled for Wednesday 12 December.

The meeting was originally planned for Enniscorthy but will now be held in the Horse and Hound in Ballinaboola, Wexford. It will also take place at the later time of 8pm.

BEET Ireland has already held one meeting in Cahir, Co Tipperary last week where 150 tillage farmers gathered to hear proposals on reviving Ireland's sugar beet industry.

In order for the project to progress to the next stage, some 1,000 farmers will be needed to contribute €1,000 each to set up a new co-operative in partnership with Beet Ireland.
