Farmers at Tullamore Show hear new ideas for EU agriculture
Farmers in day-off mood at last Sunday’s Tullamore Show and AIB National Livestock Show were a receptive audience for new EU ideas about less specialised, less intensive farming.
With IFA President Joe Healy telling the huge 60,000 attendance of the severe income difficulties on livestock farms this year, and the milk price slump continuing, many of the audience were ready to hear about an EU report favouring a new direction for the Common Agricultural Policy.
