Terms of Use

Last updated: March 2026

The short version

FarmAI Ireland is free to read. We publish educational content about AI and farming. It's not professional advice. Use it alongside your Teagasc advisor, your vet, and your own judgement — not instead of them.

What this site is

General information and educational content about AI tools and their application to Irish farming. We're independent — not affiliated with Teagasc, DAFM, ICBF, Bord Bia, or any government body. Nobody endorses us and we don't endorse anyone unless we say so explicitly.

What this site isn't

Professional, legal, financial, veterinary, or agricultural advice. If a decision involves money, animal health, a scheme application, or compliance — talk to a qualified person before acting on anything you've read here.

Things change

Scheme rules, deadlines, and regulations shift. We try to keep up but we can't guarantee everything is current the day you read it. Check the official source before relying on time-sensitive information. We link to those sources in every article for exactly this reason.

Liability

We can't accept liability for decisions you make based on our content. That includes missed deadlines, financial losses, compliance issues, or anything else. We write to inform, not to instruct.

Our content

Original content on this site belongs to FarmAI Ireland. Don't reproduce it without asking. Where we cite third-party sources, we credit them. If you think we've used something incorrectly, email hello@farmai.ie and we'll sort it out.

Links

We link to a lot of external sites. We're not responsible for what's on them. A link is a reference, not a recommendation — unless we explicitly say otherwise.

Changes

We may update these terms. If you keep using the site, you're accepting the current version. Questions: hello@farmai.ie
