 The difficulties facing Tipperary farmers heading into winter have been highlighted  by Labour MEP for Munster, Phil Prendergast
Speaking from Strasbourg, Ms. Prendergast called on the government to take specific measures to alleviate some of the problems facing farmers and their families.
She said few   farmers have managed to save enough feed and many will have to buy in extra supplies.
Drought in America has pushed the price of soya to an all-time record of €560 a tonne.
The MEP  stressed the government needs  to put pressure on the banks to extend temporary loans to farmers to help cover the additional costs being heaped onthem this winter.
