Future of Tillage Sector in Ireland: Discussion
5:00 pm
Mr. John Spink:
We are doing work on grain for both beer and distilling. We are at the early stages and we are collaborating with the IT in Carlow where it has started a brewing and distilling course. We are hoping to increase our efforts in the coming years but we are at the early stages at the moment. I am not aware of the very high-value grain from New Zealand but I will look into it. It is an area we are very keen to develop.
