I see 2 mentioned, Organic Trust and Irish Organic Association. https://www.teagasc.ie/rural-economy/organics/steps-to-organic-conversion/organic-certification-bodies/ Which are you with? Are there any real differences? I'm hoping to apply this year.

Seems to be no great difference in the two bodies. I'm with OT, have had no issues with them since I joined.

OT here, I don't think anyone here can give you a comparison as very few people would have been with both. An inspector with one organisation might be registered as a farmer with the other organisation, you could try them for info.

If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
