Looking back to April 2005 there was an amusing article by Carl Bozicek entitled Reading The Signs - it's still available to read in the issue archive section of the website in case you don’t have that old edition handy.
Anyway in it he writes “I thus argue that all growers should give due attention to oddities as they occur, not only when they are negative but also when they can be positive.” That’s still good advice.
There was talk of horticulture farms investing up to €20 million in the development of the industry according to Michael Conlon, then Head of Horticulture in Teagasc.
That month was also chock-full of interesting notes, which are also still available to read on the website.
