Tillage farms could still be affected by non-tariff barriers to trade as a result of Brexit.
Tillage farm incomes are likely to be less affected by Brexit than other agricultural sectors, according to Teagasc economist Fiona Thorne.
Fiona spoke with adviser Conor Callaghan at the recent Teagasc spring tillage webinar and explained that most Brexit income impacts relate to the subsidiary beef enterprise on tillage farms.
Under the Brexit Trade and Co-operation Agreement, no tariffs are in place between Britain and the EU.
However, the new trade deal may still affect tillage farms when it comes to inputs, particularly in the short term, she explained.
