Minister highlights NFD engagement

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has welcomed the level of engagement in the National Fertiliser Database with over 90,000 farmers having so far registered.

Farmers or other professional fertiliser end users who wish to purchase fertiliser, including lime, must be registered as a Professional Fertiliser End User with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. This can be done at www.agrifood.ie.

Commenting on what he described as “an exceptional level of engagement”, Minister McConalogue said: “I thank every farmer that has registered for the National Fertiliser Database. There has been phenomenal engagement with the new system by farmers and their agents which further demonstrates farmers willingness to embrace positive changes”.
