The Irish Grain Growers’ Group (IGGG) has said that there “is a growing sense of frustration and despair” among tillage farmers as poor weather continues to delay the harvest.
In a statement to AgriLand, the group said: “This bruising year and brutal harvest weather for tillage farmers must ignite a change of attitude to Irish grain.”

Tillage farmers are warning their crops have been severely impacted by poor weather throughout the year, which will result in a much reduced harvest for 2020.
Yields of some crops are back by as much as 30%, according to experts.
A drought earlier this year, which lasted for almost eight weeks, damaged many crops, as a result the growth pattern was affected.
