Minister of State Tom Hayes has welcomed the launch by the IFA of its Forest Assessor service, which was demonstrated at Ballyfin, Co. Laois.

Forest Assessor is a new service being offered by the IFA in association with Treemetrics and is designed to provide an assessment of a forestry plantation and an accurate prediction of the quantities of timber that a plantation can produce, including the types of log products and their potential value.
