Price of fixed mindset must change, ICSA president urges Irish farmers
Malcolm Thompson told the ICSA agm in Tullamore that he meant decommissioning the mindset whereby the price of a pound of beef or lamb did not matter since the subsidy made up the difference.
These “mindsets” include the obsession of farmers with production, even if unviable , the consumers’ notion that all beef is the same, and the erroneous view that farmers deserve huge and unjust penalties has led to increasing levels of red tape.
