In the news today
Reports were circulating in Brussels on Friday night suggesting that the European Commission has circulated members with proposals to grant Mercosur access to EU markets for 78,000t of beef, but who or what is Mercosur?
Farm lobby organisations have called for a science-based approach, rather than political motives, to be used for the decision on the renewal of glyphosate in the EU.
Anger over designated lands reaches boiling point as farmers protest in Banagher.
Just because you don't come from a farming background doesn't mean your route to farming is blocked. Limerick man Pat O’Connor found a way.
With milk price under pressure, the CEO of Dairygold said the co-op will continue to support farmers and all co-ops must be cognisant of the stress levels of farmers at present.
The Council of EU agriculture ministers meets today with the focus on the proposed Mercosur trade deal.
We watch as the European Commission is due to formally double dairy intervention ceilings after this year’s limit for skimmed milk powder was reached last week.
We bring you Monday's grain market report.
Monday management notes from the dairy team.
What's on today
The International Dairy Federation (IDF) Conference at the Hilton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin, at 9am, until Wednesday 13 April.
