Election candidate insists IFA must focus on gaining equality for farmers

ENSURING that farmers are treated as equal partners with government, processors and retailers must dominate the Irish Farmers’ Association agenda over the coming years.

That’s the view of John Bryan, who is one of three candidates seeking election as the IFA’s next president.

One of his campaign commitments is to “a new and smarter style of leadership in order to bring the agri-food sector centre stage in economic recovery”.
