ICMSA@70: 'Meeting the challenges head-on'
ICMSA's Frank Wall, addressing a large crowd of fellow Kerry members at a rally in Tralee in 1968.
ICMSA's President, Pat McCormack believes Irish farmers are well placed to meet the challenges ahead despite Brexit impact on the horizon, concerns around the Mercosur trade deal, the often divisive imposition on them with regard to climate change and the potential fallout from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform.
ICMSA is on top of the issues too, says Mr McCormack who was keen to highlight how farmers’ ability to adapt to change was never more evident than after the Covid-19 pandemic hit, when their willingness to embrace the technological advances that ICMSA introduced - thus changing the way in which is does its business forever - shone through.
