National Farm Survey 2010 Estimates
Approximately 1,050 farms participated in the Teagasc National Farm Survey (NFS) in 2010, these farms are weighted to represent a national population of approximately 99,500 farms. As of May 2011 the financial records of 817 of these farms had been returned and fully validated. The following report is a preliminary estimate of farm income for 2010 based on this sample of 817 farms. The final results, based on a sample of approximately 1,050 farms, will be published in June 2011. While the income figures may change somewhat between the preliminary and final results, the weighting methodology applied to these preliminary estimates means that the overall results are unlikely to change significantly.

Teagasc Road Maps – Sheep
Irish agriculture is facing a period of change. The Food Harvest 2020 report sets out ambitious targets for the agriculture and food industry. Teagasc has outlined the developments required for each of the major farming enterprises and the food sector over the next seven years to 2018. The nine Teagasc Road Maps covering dairy, suckler beef, pigs, sheep, tillage, forestry, horticulture, food and the environment, summarize the expected changes in the shape and size of the individual sectors in the context of the main market and policy issues facing Irish producers in each enterprise. The Road Maps specifically set out the technical performance required at farm level to meet these targets. They take account of environmental and land use implications of these changes and Food Harvest 2020.
