Editorial standards

We only recommend tools and practices that are available in Ireland, tested at Irish farm scale, and cited from official sources. We do not publish AI-generated content without human review and fact-checking.

Scheme rules, deadlines, and payment rates change. We update articles when official guidance changes, and we date every article so you can see when it was last verified.

We are not affiliated with Teagasc, the Department of Agriculture, or any tool vendor. When we cover a commercial product, we are not paid to do so unless explicitly stated.

Corrections policy

If something we have published is wrong, we want to know. We correct errors quickly and note the correction at the bottom of the article. We do not quietly edit and re-date — if we got something wrong, we say so.
