IFA president-elect, Tipperary farmer Tim Cullinan has said his election gave him ‘a strong mandate from IFA members to sharpen up the organisation to deal with the many serious challenges facing farmers’.


As the counting of votes came to an end last night, the Tipperary farmer said that his upcoming presidential term will prove to be the ‘most critical ever faced by farmers’, and he called for unity in the face of what he described as ‘the unprecedented challenges facing the industry today’.


Mr Cullinan told Tipp Mid West that beef pricing, the Common Agricultural Policy and Brexit are the key issues that will face the farming sector in 2020, and that beef prices will be the first issue intends to tackle.
