Candidate wants to bring viability back to all farm enterprises

BRINGING viability back to all farm enterprises is a goal of Richard Kennedy, one of the three candidates for the presidency of the Irish Farmers’ Association.

“The importance of the family farm is one of my key priorities for the association,” said Mr Kennedy, who is the IFA’s national dairy committee chairman.

A former national president of Macra na Feirme, he has on-farm experience of dairy, beef, sheep, pigs and grain.
