Tillage farmers claim Glanbia pricing lags behind competitors

Tillage farmers who protested outside Glanbia House in Kilkenny yesterday claimed feed grain prices paid by the company this harvest lagged behind industry competitors.

However, Glanbia strongly defended what it described as its competitive prices and pledged to continue supporting growers.

Irish Farmers Association president Eddie Downey accused Glanbia of short-changing tillage farmers on this year’s prices.
