Farmers have "very hard choices" coming down the line as tax bills from 2025 start coming through, ICMSA said.
Dairy
Average net margin for Irish dairy farms in 2020 is likely to be about 10c/L, but this figure will depend on grass growing conditions and input requirement.
A difference of up to €228/cow was established in terms of family farm income per cow among dairy farms depending on the region last year.
The ICMSA estimate that dairy incomes could fall by more than €800 million in the two years from 2014.
