Farmers turn to IFA to address ‘alarming’ costs
The call has come from the association’s Co Limerick executive, where the latest meeting heard of dairying costs reaching “alarming” proportions, at a level which the industry can no longer sustain, as milk prices come under pressure.
They got some good news from IFA, which will launch a service within weeks to provide electricity at a discount. Unfortunately, it could be up to five years before this service would have any significant impact on their costs, they were told.
