Farmers in Ireland are being financially encouraged to grow combination crops of cereals and beans as both forage crops and to combine dry.
The government target is to increase the production of protein in Ireland due to the ever-increasing cost of importing organic and conventional soya into the ROI.
FORWARD and BOOSTER comply with the protein farmer payment schemes opperating in the ROI and are both available as either 100% Organic seed or as Conventional seed.
