The Athgarvan Grain Mill, Blackrath, County Kildare

This morning.

Further to a call by Charlie McConalogue, Minister for Agriculture, for farmers to grow more grain due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine…

…via Irish Examiner:

the Irish Farmers’ Association said in a statement that there has “been no discussion with farmers” regarding reports that they may be required to grow crops in 2022.

“We are in very challenging times and farmers will certainly play our part in any national or European effort,” said IFA President Tim Cullinan.

However, it is far from certain that asking all farmers to plant crops is the best use of the resources that are likely to be available to us.”

To the pitchforks!
