The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association has welcomed the announcement by the Minister for Agriculture of a €1 million imported fodder transport scheme. The Association said the initiative will be very helpful in reducing the cost of imported straw, hay and silage for farmers who are struggling to feed their livestock.

ICSA national suckler chair Dermot Kelleher said, “ICSA has been calling for the Minister to step in and take action to alleviate the pressure on Irish fodder supplies for some time now, but it is better late than never and I welcome the announcement. Anyone urgently seeking fodder should avail of this scheme and contact their local dairy co-op as soon as possible to do so.”

ACRES PAYMENT DELAY UNACCEPTABLE – ICSA

Dec 6, 2023 | , | 0

ICSA president Dermot Kelleher has said it is unacceptable that some 18,600 farmers will have to wait until February 2024 to receive their ACRES payment. “ICSA, along with other farmer representatives, today (6 December) met with senior Department of Agriculture officials in Portlaoise for an update on payments from the various farm schemes. At this meeting we were informed that no participant of the Cooperation Project (CP) stream of ACRES tranche one will be paid until February at the earliest. This news will come as a devasting blow to all those farmers who have been already waiting far too long for their payments,” he said.
