The Irish are coming

Enterprise Ireland will again feature at Fieldays. Enterprise Ireland will again feature at Fieldays.

Anticipating the All Blacks heading to Dublin in November to reap their revenge, an even bigger Irish contingent will visit New Zealand this week for the 50th Fieldays. 

NZ is a key market for Irish exporters, so the best of the Ireland’s agritech industry, supported by Enterprise Ireland, will show their latest research and innovative solutions, dubbed ‘The Irish Advantage’.  

C&F Green Energy makes small and medium-size wind turbines for farms on off the grid. The company offers models from 11 - 250kW -- high yield, low noise and able to be monitored remotely 24/7. 

Equilume, a developer of light therapy devices for the health, growth and performance of horses, now also makes light masks for cows; these adjust the breeding cycle of the animal, allowing it to get ‘daylight’ while inside or at night, to increase lactations and so increase yields by up to 9% (in  trials). 

Other Irish exhibitors will include Dairymaster milking equipment, milking parlours and feeding systems; Keenan mixer and feed wagons; Malone Farm Machinery, HiSpec, Major Equipment and ProDig Attachments. 

There will be balers from McHale, tankers from Abbey Machinery, spreaders from Agri-Spread and wrappers from Tanco.
