I think I have most of the answer to the question I was going to ask. The more information on agriculture we can gather, the better in respect of progression and statistics, of which I have seen printouts. Can the witnesses explain the link to the departmental site agfood.ie? If I register a calf in the morning, whether by sending a postcard or registering online, it is in the system. If I register it through the witnesses' systems, they must link it to agfood.ie. Is that correct? Is all information fed into the system from the farmer automatically linked to agfood.ie or is it only the registration of movement? What other links exist to agfood.ie?
