IFA warns of seasonal farm dangers

FARMERS were urged yesterday to take special care during the current busy period on their farms.

IFA Farm Family Committee chairwoman Mary Sherry said following the recent bad weather, Easter will be a particularly busy time on farms, as it traditionally is with the sowing of many crops and other farming activities.

She urged all young people on holidays, who may be present on a farm during Easter, to take special care whether they are helping or visiting.
