Safety events

Cork and Tipperary IFA are organising events to highlight the importance of safety on the farm. Go along to Nenagh Mart on Tuesday 4 July from 12.30pm or Macroom Mart on Thursday 6 July at 11am for farm safety demos and discussion on standards for agricultural vehicles. All farm families are welcome to attend.

Brexit

Speaking at the IIEA, IFA president Joe Healy said we cannot have certainty on the nature of a future border without Brexit trade aspects being resolved. He said Ireland should place keeping the UK in the customs union, or reaching agreement on a trading arrangement that would have similar effect, as the priority.

Liquid milk

Liquid milk chair John Finn has urged all liquid milk producers to return the survey they have received from the National Milk Agency. He said the survey, sought by the IFA as part of our Milk Wise 2025 strategy, will help to define the actions needed to secure year-round, long-term supplies of fresh, high-quality, local milk.
