It was a big week in farming news as details of a new EU payment scheme were released. Will it be enough? Will it be any good for Irish farmers? Our specialists think it doesn’t go far enough and it has been widely criticised by the farm organisations also. Why is this? What’s wrong with almost €80m of payments?
The front page story in the Irish Farmers Journal this week shares details of a new sustainability programme that Bord Bia is trying to facilitate. What does it mean for farmers? Will it replace the current Quality Assurance scheme? In this special Farm Tech Talk hear what news editor Caitríona Morrissey has to say about it and also details from Bord Bia sector manager on Quality Assurance Mick Houlihan.
Also, Justin McCarthy and Phelim O’Neill join us to discuss what the EU needs to focus on.
