ICMSA advises against further farm inspections

More time-consuming farm inspections and paperwork will not improve farm safety, but will only add to the stress of farmers, warns ICMSA president John Comer.

He said farmers need the EU to develop a policy that will deliver an income to farmers to allow investment in farm infrastructure, including farm safety and labour saving technologies.

Adding to the bureaucratic load of farmers was not the answer, he said.
