Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Kieran McEvoy:
We do not know yet in regard to carbon. The industry would say it will probably put €50 per tonne onto fertiliser at a minimum. Maybe other witnesses know better than me. The tillage sector uses its fair share of fertiliser because of scale. It will put an extra cost on me. It is as simple as that.
