“Plant your pension now.”

That was the pitch to farmers in the 1990s.

Tax-free income, 12.5pc returns, a way to make poor land finally pay.

A generation of farmers bought into it.

Recently, standing in a flattened Sitka site in Roscommon after Storm Éowyn, one man summed up where some of those “pensions” have ended up:
“Forestry should never have been sold as an income source.”

That might sound harsh, but it’s not coming from outsiders. It’s coming from the very people who planted, inherited, and are now dealing with the reality of it.

In last week’s Farming Independent, we went back to that original promise and follow it right through:
— The forests planted in good faith in the ‘90s
— The storm damage that wiped out decades of growth in hours
— The costs and complications nobody really talked about at the time
— And the growing feeling among some farmers and heirs that they’re tied into something they can’t get out of

Alongside that, new research suggests something that will not come as a surprise to many:

That doing nothing, not planting at all, might be the most rational decision on the table right now.

Is that fair? Or is forestry still a solid long-term play that’s just taken a hit?

Plenty will disagree on this one. And rightly so.
