Dairy farmers assured help is at hand in crisis
Teagasc director Professor Gerry Boyle said it has been a difficult year – milk prices have been volatile, climbing to new heights a few years ago before declining rapidly this year. He said Teagasc has set up a service open to all farmers who need help in cashflow planning, or in their preparation to meet with their financial institution or bank, or in the management of accounts.
Teagasc advisers have also engaged with clients through the recent financial healthcheck during the single farm payment application consultations and have also met with the major banks, farm organisations and merchants.
