Teagasc services for organic farmers This document is also available in Acrobat PDF format. Organic farming is a system of farming which avoids the use of soluble fertilisers, pesticides, growth regulators, feed additives and other chemicals. The organic farmer relies on the use of crop rotations, animal manure, clover, low stocking rates and good animal husbandry for producing outputs. The natural immunity of plants and animals are used to combat disease whenever possible. Farmers considering the organic option should examine the standards relating to their farming enterprises in detail and discuss the options with an agricultural adviser. The standards will give farmers an indication of the practices on the farm which do or do not meet the organic regulations. A two-year conversion period is required before a farm is given organic status.
