As the fallout over Budget 2024 continues, one farming official has lambasted the government over what he has termed a ‘complete non-event’ to very serious problems facing the sector.
President of the ICMSA, Pat McCormack says the response of farmers has been one of confusion and disappointment.
The association say Budget 2024 looks set to heap more income and regulatory pressures on farmers.
Pat McCormack believes the budget was content to point at alleged agri-environmental problems while shying away from the kind of on-farm funding that would deal with them.
