UFU president roadshow dates announced

​UFU president William Irvine said: “We are looking forward to meeting face to face with our members across Northern Ireland at our presidents’ roadshows. The potential and importance of UK farming and food production is substantial going forward. However, there will be challenges along the way too.

“At the roadshows we will discuss the key issues that are impacting farmers from Inheritance tax changes, TB, planning issues, farmgate prices, production costs, future agriculture policy and tackling climate change. The meetings will be as open as possible so that members can ask questions and make their opinions known. Every farmer can make a positive contribution, helping us to overcome the challenges we face and shaping the future of the farming industry.

“With the guidance and support of our membership, we will continue to lobby to achieve the best outcomes for our farming families so they can continue to produce food profitably and sustainably.”
