ICSA learn Welsh ways to bridge the gap to consumer

Everyone in farming is a winner after an Irish team travels to Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and scores a breakthrough, reports Ray Ryan.

LEADERS of the Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association saw diversification at work down on the farm, and learned of efforts to bring urban and rural people closer, during a recent visit to Wales.

Headed by Malcolm Thompson, president, and Eddie Punch, general secretary, they were in Cardiff for the announcement of a joint internet project with the Farmers Union of Wales.
