Farm organisations elect new leaders next week

TUESDAY marks the changing of the guard as the two main farming organisations elect new leaders.

IFA and ICMSA presidential election counts take place simultaneously the City West Hotel, Dublin and Kilmurray Lodge Hotel, Limerick.

Whoever follows John Dillon and Pat O’Rourke will take over at a time of the greatest uncertainty in farming, with the stiffest challenge ever to sustain a reasonable number of farm families on the land.
