Protected Crop Growing
There is no better feeling than eating something you have grown yourself. This is especially true for crops like tomatoes which require constant care to get them from seed to plate. There can be a great feeling of accomplishment. This guide is designed to give people the confidence to have a go at growing themselves. If you only have a sunny window you can try mixed leaves or strawberries in a pot. If you have a greenhouse we hope we can answer some of your questions or encourage you to try a few plants of something new this summer.

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.
