Over 300,000 hectares (nearly 740,000 acres) are dedicated to crops across thousands of specialised farms, significantly contributing to the national economy and food security.
Irish tillage farmers are at the forefront of modern agriculture, cultivating staple cereals like wheat, barley, and oats, pulses such as spring beans, and other key crops including maize, oilseed rape, fodder beets, and potatoes. Ireland consistently achieves one of the highest average wheat yields globally, thanks to its cool, temperate climate and high rainfall, often surpassing yields in countries with similar climates. This sector’s annual output generates hundreds of millions of euros, providing high-quality ingredients for food, livestock feed, and brewing/distilling. While many farms integrate crop and livestock, a growing number specialise in tillage, with the average farm spanning around 60 hectares (approximately 148 acres).
