Objectives of project
CANTOGETHER will design and assessinnovative mixed farming systems, based on
the simultaneous utilization of crops andanimals.
• To examine the existing arrangement for thespreading of pig manure on tillage land
• To provide information and tools to promote the useof pig manure on additional suitable tillage land

Conclusion
• Process of bringing it in-house in Teagasc underway
• Roll it out to all advisors
• Need to keep driving home message of pig manure as aresource
• Data analysis in Cantogether will help build on thismessage
– Economics
– Environmental – carbon footprint and soil fertility
• Big drive needed in advance of Nitrate changes in 2017
