FARMING POLL 2015: Sore points for three out of four farmers

When farmers get talking, there are a few issues that will get three out of four excited.

They are far from happy with publication of their EU direct payments, with 78% of the 569 farmers surveyed as part of the Irish Examiner ICMSA farming survey agreeing this is is an unfair invasion of their privacy.

It’s not heard to reason why 63% of those surveyed strongly agree with the statement, and 15% slightly agree.
