Tillage
This year has been an extremely difficult one for all farming sectors; the tillage sector is no exception to this.
Irish farming needs balance between the livestock and tillage sectors, according to the president of the ICSA Patrick Kent.
The Minister for Agriculture, Michael Creed, has kicked hopes of a crisis tillage fund to touch, according to Deputy Charlie McConalogue.
The Department of Agriculture is to look at the possibility of a crisis fund for tillage farmers "in greater detail" with farming organisations, the Minister for Agriculture, has said.
