Ireland & Northern Ireland Farm Tour Nebraska Leadership Alumni 2021 Ireland & Northern Ireland Farm Tour Giant’s Causeway—Cliffs of Moher—Blarney Castle—Ring of Kerry August 18 - 29, 2021 The Emerald Isle enjoys a unique climate receiving gulf stream weather patterns which keep the island quite mild. Rainfall is abundant and the rich glacial soils attrib- ute to 67% of the land being used for agriculture and 10% being used for forestry. Almost 80% of the agriculture area is devoted to pasture, hay and grass silage, 11% to rough silage and 10% to crop production (wheat, oats, barley, potatoes). Cattle and sheep are the main livestock produced in Ireland. Key markets for Irish exports are the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Russia and China. Dairy products comprise most of its exports with beef, processed foods and beverages (beer and whiskey) fol- lowing closely. Ireland suffered economic decline throughout the 1900s but the Celtic Tiger since the 1990s gave the country new life, especially with its expertise in the technology markets. There’s plenty of “craic” (good times) to be discovered in the charming pubs with live music. The pubs, found on every street corner, are a mainstay of Irish social life and you will find all ages conversing about the village news. August is a fabulous time to visit with its mild weather and blooming flowers. Version 30Jan Updated: 1/26/2021 Itinerary Day 1 Wed, Aug 18 DEPART FOR DUBLIN there were storytellers.
