Agriculture minister pleaded with ‘to do something' for those who can't grow own fodder
Farmers are 'under savage pressure' with the increased costs of fertiliser, fuel and electricity, Danny Healy-Rae said.
Independent TD for Kerry Danny Healy-Rae has pleaded with the agriculture minister “to do something for the farmers” who cannot grow their own fodder.
He told the Dáil that farmers are “under savage pressure” with the increased costs of fertiliser, fuel, and electricity, and welcomes the €1,000 on up to 10 hectares to support farmers to cut hay and silage this year, and “while it is not an awful lot, it is a lot in a way”.
