Farmers who plant field crops this year will receive €100/ha, the Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue announced at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis today.
“I want to help tillage farmers have the confidence to plant in 2024, so I am committing that I will find a mechanism to support any farmer that puts seed in the soil this year.
