ICSA seeks fair deal for excluded young farmers

The ICSA has called upon the Government to rectify the exclusion of 3,900 young farmers from support under the National Reserve.

ICSA president Patrick Kent wants Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney to revisit the issue of young farmers who do not qualify for the allocation due to their date starting farming.

This group, commonly referred to as the Forgotten Farmers, were left out of the official allocation for young farmers and the National Reserve fund.
