Irish faith in EU all about democracy, not money

This week, Irish farming and agri-food bask in the post-ploughing afterglow.

The week of the ploughing is the one time of the year when the country’s media turns its face fully to farming and its attention is fixed on our rural hinterland and the ‘country’ people who are still the backbone of the State and the engine behind our food production sector that is — and for some of us, always will be — Ireland’s pride and joy.

ICMSA is very proud of its relationship with the Irish Examiner and we are particularly pleased to be involved and co-sponsor of what is now a landmark survey: The Irish Examiner-ICMSA Farming Poll, the fourth of which was published last week to coincide with the National Ploughing Championships.
