A weak euro means input costs are rising, but it does make Irish grain more competitive against US and UK product. We report this week on how most Boortmalt barley growers are taking the opportunity to forward-sell. All growers need to watch markets, as political instability, currency fluctuations, oil prices and weather events can all influence prices in the months ahead. Meanwhile, information books and detailed field maps were issued last week to farmers who history suggests will not automatically qualify for the greening payment. Every EFA marked must be visually checked by the farmer to ensure it qualifies – the responsibility for accuracy rests with the applicant, not the Department.
