Liam Dunne is a tillage farmer from Athy, Co Kildare, and he spoke to tillage editor Andy Doyle about farming under the new greening rules.
Greening rules were introduced in the current round of CAP.
Liam says farming under the new rules means “the mixture of crops now becomes important” and there has to be awareness of “different percentages of different crops”.

He also speaks about the ecological focus area (EFA), meaning areas which should be left to nature.
