ICMSA highlights drought dangers

DROUGHT conditions are posing serious difficulties for farmers, according to the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers’ Association (ICMSA) president Jackie Cahill.

He said these conditions are hitting current farm practices and have serious implications for the winter.

“It is essential that Teagasc, in particular, and our co-ops play a central role in assisting farmers in overcoming their current difficulties,” he said.
