About Future Grass Technology
Europe's Leading Zero Grazer Manufacturer
Future Grass Technology, Established in Co. Carlow, Ireland, has grown from a simple idea to become one of Europe's leading manufacturers of zero grazers. Founded by Jim Barron, who brings over 20 years of agricultural engineering expertise, our company combines Innovative Design with Practical Farming Knowledge.
Our Journey
After spending two decades with Keenan, where he mastered the intricacies of agricultural machinery design, Jim Barron saw an opportunity. He recognised that dairy farmers needed more efficient ways to manage their grass, increase profits, and cut costs while feeding their herds. As a forward thinker, Jim foresaw that a Zero Grazer would become an essential tool on every farm in Europe, a vision that preceded its widespread adoption. We manufactured the very first Zero Grazer in Borris Co. Carlow over a decade ago.
Innovation Through Experience
Today, our range has expanded beyond Zero Grazers to include Slurry Tankers, Dribble Bars, Trailing Shoes and Drill Seeders. Each product is designed and manufactured in our Co. Carlow facility, where we continue to push the boundaries of Agricultural Engineering. Our commitment to Innovation was recently recognised with the Research, Innovation and Technology Award at the 2024 Carlow Business Awards, for the World's first Zero Grazer with liquid fertilizer spreader at the rear.
A message from our Founder and CEO - Jim Barron
We maintain a close relationship with all our customers before and after sale. We are constantly examining feedback and monitoring Farm Performance of our customers to see how the Zero Grazer, Seeder, Tankers, Dribble Bars and Trailing Shoes have worked for them.
It is widely known the advantages of having a Grass Technology Zero Grazer to use on fragmented land but we are interested in how Zero Grazing as a Farming Methodology can influence profit. We are also interested in helping farmers to maximise their grass, and our Seeder and our range of Slurry Handling Equipment helps to do just that.
