In light of weather conditions,
@IFAmedia
is seeking:
- Milk processors to pay a hardship top-up of at least 3c/litre;
- The Department to fast-track payments to farmers;
- Suspension of all farm inspections; and
- Banks/credit unions to offer maximum flexibility to farmers.

The number of tillage farmers in Ireland equates to the combined population of Cashel and Mitchelstown. Would the Government stand idly by as the entire economy of two Irish towns is obliterated? We need a Tillage Survival Scheme introduced now.

For thousands of years, Burren farmers have marked the end of summer by herding their cattle onto ‘winterage’ pastures in the limestone uplands where they spend the winter grazing. I was delighted to join the people of North Clare today for this unique and intriguing experience.

A key weakness in Irish agriculture is the lack of involvement of young people in farming and IFA. I prioritised this issue in my four years as Laois IFA Chair through my support for the YFDGs and it will remain a key priority for me as President.

The news of stocking rate limits in derogation being cut from 250kg/ha to 220kg/ha is a blow to the whole sector across all commodities. This emphasises that the government no longer backs farmers and I urge you to attend your local meetings coming up & air your frustrations

The sowing of catch crops is a practice that farmers have adopted in a huge way in the past number of years. However, it will no longer be adopted if there is not a workable solution found by the department to address the issue of a 50% grass layback requirement.

This nails it.
To me this is a fair and balanced explanation of why farmer frustration and anger is boiling over right now. Ag and farmers have so much to contribute to helping Irl meet its climate change targets-reducing ghgs and sequestering carbon. The blame game benefits nobody. Please read

The success of our agriculture sector has been achieved through the hard work, dedication and ingenuity of generations of farm families across Ireland, like the Delaney family in County Laois. Now more than ever, IFA needs strong leadership. Vote for change. Vote Francie Gorman.

The message from the farmers of Donegal is clear. They have lost faith in IFA and the manner which the organisation is representing them. While there is a lot of goodwill towards IFA, only strong leadership and delivery for farmers will restore faith in the organisation.
