We're independent

FarmAI Ireland is privately owned and completely independent. We're not affiliated with Teagasc, the Department of Agriculture, ICBF, Bord Bia, or any government body. We cite their work because it's good — not because they asked us to.

This isn't advice

We explain things. We don't advise on them. Nothing on this site replaces your Teagasc advisor, your vet, your accountant, or the relevant government department. If it involves money, animal health, or a scheme application — talk to a professional before you act on anything you've read here.

Things change

Scheme rules, payment rates, and deadlines shift. We do our best to keep articles current, and we date everything so you can see when it was last checked. But if something is time-sensitive or financially significant, verify it against the official source before relying on it. We link to those sources in every article for exactly this reason.

Tools and reviews

Covering a tool on this site doesn't mean we're recommending it for your farm. Every operation is different and we can't assess yours remotely. We write what we find, good and bad. You decide what's worth your money.

Links to other sites

We link to a lot of external websites — Teagasc, DAFM, tool providers, EU data portals. We're not responsible for what's on their sites, and linking to something isn't the same as endorsing it.

Something wrong?

If we've got something wrong, we want to hear about it. Email hello@farmai.ie and we'll look into it. We correct errors quickly and we note the correction publicly — we don't quietly edit and pretend it never happened.
