Agriculture

As an active dairy farmer I am fully aware of the crisis facing family farms all over the county, I will continue to work to:

• Seek immediate increase to the current price of milk.
• Condemn the Governments cuts to the suckler cow scheme, the early retirement scheme and the farm installation scheme.
• Condemn this Governments betrayal of farmers in the payment of the Farm waste management grants.
• Continue to promote and support the importance of live export for Kerry farmers.
