Farm Foresty Partnership Agreements: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Gerard Murphy:

In our contracts, we are obliged to maximise the value to the partnership. We are a grower as well and we are always looking to maximise the crop's value. In specific interventions such as thinning and clearfelling, we are among very few in Ireland to use sophisticated optimisation tools, which give us a clear view of how to plan the resource to get maximum value.
