Glanbia’s ‘derisory offer’ threatens future of tillage farming, claims IFA

GLANBIA’S price offer to growers this week threatens the future of tillage farming in Ireland according to the IFA.

However, the charge was rejected by the company. Glanbia agribusiness chief executive Colm Eustace said: “I appreciate how difficult this harvest has been and continues to be for growers. Overall there is an extra 53m tonnes of grain in Europe after this year’s harvest, which is regrettably having a huge impact on the market.”

IFA president Padraig Walshe said Glanbia’s price offer threatens the future of tillage farming.
