Fodder support being given for flooded farms

Support is being provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine to those farmers mostly affected by fodder losses due to flooding.

Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney said officials from his department and Teagasc have identified some 80 farmers in need of support.

“These farmers are receiving emergency fodder supplies. The assistance we are providing is modest but important for those hardest hit by these floods,” he said.
