Hard decisions to be made for Irish Family Farms

YOU have an emotional commitment to the farm which has been in your family for generations but the kids do not see their future on the land and are off pursuing new careers at University.

You don’t want to sell the land as it needs to support you for the foreseeable future but you are getting that little bit older and tasks which you could have done in your sleep in the past are now taking a little bit longer and need a little more effort and energy.

You want to pass the land on to your kids so that they do not lose that important link with their heritage whether they end up living locally or far away from home.

You want to scale back on your workload so that you can ease into early retirement whilst still being active on the farm for as long as you care to do so.

Every inch of your farm has meaning for you – the memories - the work you have completed to make it so productive etched into your soul. Now you can consider your options and plan your farming future by maximising your income and protecting all you have achieved. By diversifying your farm activities with forestry you can maximise your income with a 100% grant aided activity that will give you annual premia payments for 15 years income tax free whilst still retaining your single farm payments. Apart from the short and long term financial benefits, you will ensure long term security and tenure for your family’s future generations.

Ireland possesses some of the most productive forests in Europe and the Irish forestry sector contributes €2.3bn to GDP annually and employs 16,000 people nationwide.
