6 members of IFA are currently inside Bord Bia and have been there for 5 days. They are currently being denied food, water and basic necessities. This is crude measure by Bord Bia against the farmers that fund their and support their work.

This is one of the most telling exchanges you’ll ever see on Irish radio. RTE’s O’Mongain reminds Boyd Barrett that Russia invaded ALL OF UKRAINE & only failed due to heroic resistance & because Ukraine was well armed by the west.RBB loses his cool & argues for total capitulation
Clonakilty @IFAmedia annual conference kicking off.
Start with the main item: #derogation with national Environment Chair John Murphy.

Good outlook ahead.....
Long-term global dairy demand may well outpace supply agriland.ie/farming-news/lon…
Bank bailouts has cost the country €35B.
Loss of derogation will cost €4.5B or close to €50Billion for the same time span.

Interesting opinion piece by @EddiePunch in @Farming_Indo
Million less farmers in EU will inevitably lead to food supply issues.
Who will deal with the consequences?
Very truthful article from @Farming_Indo
There has always been an assumption that cheap food will always be available.
For the first time in my farming career. I am fairly confident that we'll be properly rewarded for our efforts. Food needs farmers and we ain't there
