The new Tipperary-based President of the ICMSA has identified what he says are the two main issues facing farmers in 2018.
Pat McCormack is focusing on the looming fodder shortage threatening many farms throughout the country.

The largest vessel for shipping calves is out of action for routine maintanence coming into calving season, and he says that calves need to be moved as early as possible.
