Word on the grapevine is that Leslie Codd has made a big investment in his mushroom operation down in the south of the country.
As reported on Fresh Info.com , Irish mushroom firm Codd Mushrooms, based in County Carlow, has invested €3 million (£2.7m) in an automated production unit.
That’s a whopping great outlay - there’s a man that’s showing confidence in the future direction of the Irish Mushroom industry.
The purpose built Dutch style mushroom unit is a sight to behold Stalker is told. Leslie was also in action at the All Ireland Mushroom Conference.
Leslie’s area of expertise is the subject of renewable energy, be it wood generated or wind generated.
The new farm has a wood boiler hopper.
Leslie gave a very informative talk on the wood energy experience and it was well pitched for the audience of growers that listened to it.
