Common questions

Things farmers ask us most

No. AI is a tool, not a replacement. It handles data and pattern recognition — the judgment, experience, and knowledge of your land stays with you. Every guide we publish is designed to put you in control, not hand it over to a machine.
Most of the AI tools we cover work on a smartphone and need little more than a photo or a few taps. We only cover tools that are genuinely accessible — if it needs a computer science degree, we won't recommend it.
Many tools are free or low-cost. Some are built into existing farm management software you may already use. We always include a cost section in our guides so you know what you're getting into before you start.
Every article and guide draws from publicly available information from Teagasc, gov.ie, ICBF, Bord Bia, and other trusted Irish agricultural bodies. We cite our sources in every piece. We're not affiliated with any government body or agri-business.
We cite official sources at the bottom of each article, update pieces when guidance changes, and avoid giving farm-specific professional advice. For grants, animal health, compliance, or major investments, we point readers back to Teagasc, DAFM, vets, advisors, or the relevant authority.
Yes, always. We don't sell anything. The site is funded by occasional sponsorship, which is disclosed clearly in any article where it applies. If it's not disclosed, there's no commercial relationship.
New articles and guides are published regularly throughout the month. The FarmAI Monthly newsletter rounds up everything once a month — sign up below and you won't miss anything.
