Interesting opinion piece by @EddiePunch in @Farming_Indo Million less farmers in EU will inevitably lead to food supply issues. Who will deal with the consequences?

Very truthful article from @Farming_Indo There has always been an assumption that cheap food will always be available. For the first time in my farming career. I am fairly confident that we'll be properly rewarded for our efforts. Food needs farmers and we ain't there

Every year seems like a 'make-or-break' year at this stage. 2025 feels different, Mercoseur, derogation, plummet in suckler numbers. No real political will to help ag. Reckon we're on our own this time..........& everybody loses.

Wouldn't agree with @lukeming too often, but he's totally correct on #Mercosur. EU farmers are being sacrificed for access to lithium & car markets.

Words of comfort from @vonderleyen defending #Mercoseur deal. Doesn't hide reality of cheap food that would be illegal for Irish for EU farmers to produce.

#Mercoseur deal to be signed by EU. EU food standards unlikely to be imposed on South American food, esp beef entering EU. @COPACOGECA @IFAmedia & @icmsahave been warning of this for years & poo-haed. It's happening, no standards & no 'impact' study, as usual
