Explanation sought on €7m milk levy
With some IFA members in Limerick demanding that the collection of a levy on their milk sales be put on hold until they are satisfied that they are getting value for money, the Association in Limerick will ask the Dairy Board for clarification on how they are spending the €7m levy total.
National Council member David Thompson told a recent IFA meeting in the county that dairy farmers have to look closely at every aspect of their costs, as their incomes are being eroded.
