The Irish Grain Growers (IGG) group has called on the agricultural sector to get behind a new online campaign #ArableApril to promote the Irish tillage sector.
IGG representative Bobby Miller said the group had been inspired by the success of other campaigns like Februdairy and Veganuary, which brought public attention to both the dairy sector and vegan lifestyles respectively.

He said it was important that tillage farming was promoted in the same way and that the positive impact it could have in areas such as climate change should be highlighted.
Millar hoped #ArableApril would educate the public on tillage.
While IGG had kick-started the campaign, he called on all individual farmers, seed companies and other firms involved in the tillage sector to get behind the campaign in whatever way they could.
