Tipp President of ICMSA calls for farm deposit scheme

The Tipperary President of the ICMSA has called on the government to provide a Farm Deposit Scheme for farmers in the upcoming budget.

Pat McCormack’s request comes following the extreme volatility in milk price in recent years.

The Greenane man says farmers need a scheme that enables them to deposit money in ‘Good’ years that could be used to tide them over ‘Bad’ periods.
