Clare Agtech Firm Fears Farmers Face Long Road Back To Profitability

A Clare agtech company fears it will be a long time before farmers return to a cash-positive position. True North Technologies, which is based in Shannon, is one of hundreds of exhibitors at the National Ploughing Championships, which kicked off in Offaly yesterday. Nearly 290,000 spectators and competitors are expected in Screggan over the course of the three-day event. Rising costs for farmers are one of the main topics on everyone’s lips at the event, and Executive Director of True North Technologies, Diarmuid McSweeney, has been telling Clare FM that while it's been a challenging year for farmers, there are some positives.
