Bergin is confident he can lead farmers

Jer Bergin is confident he has the experience, track record, negotiating skills and vision to provide strong and forceful leadership for farmers.

“The IFA must continually reinvent itself to ensure that it remains firmly focused on the issues that affect the livelihoods of farm families. That requires a President with energy, courage and tough negotiating skills. I believe I am the person best equipped to do that and to represent the interests of all farmers.”

Restoration of the Charter of Rights for farmers, and a stimulus package to support farm development and expansion are among his top priorities.
