Farming Groups Seek More Government Support In Upcoming Budget

Farmer representatives will be calling for increased financial supports in the upcoming budget when they meet the Finance and Public Expenditure ministers later.

It says the funding has never been more critical due to the increasing uncertainty around CAP reform, climate action and Brexit.
IFA president Tim Cullinan says government must show its commitment to farmers in the budget
