The grass seed branded ‘Tipperary Grass’ is said to be valued at over €16,000.
Agritech’s Managing Director, Brian O’Slatarra has explained that due to regulation, grass seed cannot be sold without a Department of Agriculture label detailing the grass seed mixture and batch number and consequently Gardai are aware of the batch numbers relating to each bag. Brian is urging farmers to be extra vigilant and be mindful of the theft when purchasing grass seed or when offered grass seed for sale.
