With CAP under review and European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Phil Hogan to give further details of the CAP reform in June, the IGGG say it is important that the tillage sector is vocal and fights its corner while the details are being negotiated in the EU. Its meeting in Athy on Wednesday at 8PM will be addressed by Andy Doyle from the Irish Farmers Journal.
“The tillage sector was a poor relation here in Ireland the last time round and this is reflected in the recently released Teagasc figures where the tillage area is down alarmingly again in 2018,” the organisation said.
