Tillage Sector and the Nitrates Action Plan: Discussion

Mr. Joe Healy:

It is. Our nitrogen use is back where it was in 2004, our use of P and K has dropped by an average of 50%, one of them is 48% while the other is 52%, in the past decade and our emissions of greenhouse gases are down while our agrifood exports have grown by 50% in the past nine years.
