Today with David McCullagh · Good weather worsening drought and fodder crisis · 14 Aug 2026 podcast

Well, you know, we may be able to get reports and do a survey, but we've already heard yesterday that supplementing feed is costing some dairy farmers around five hundred euro today uh per day as they have to eat into their winter fodder supplies. voice-verified

I mean, how worried are you about that? voice-verified

And do you think that there needs to be some government action um to help farmers at a time of what they would say is a hot weather crisis? voice-verified

Sorry, sorry, Minister, this is to get in your view an accurate picture at what's happening right now in the country, is it? voice-verified

That farmers will complete a survey. voice-verified

Okay, so that's that's what you want to see now, uh farmers carrying out this survey and submitting um, you know, their their their stocks to you. voice-verified

Now we have heard from the IFA President Francie Gorman saying that he is looking for the National Fodder and Food Security Committee to meet. voice-verified

Should it meet now? voice-verified

Or are you still going to wait for those sir th the the sh should it meet now or are you still going to wait for those the results of the survey to come in? voice-verified

Do you do you think that is better to hold out? voice-verified

Now, Minister, the IFA also wants you to help farmers by subventing the movement of fodder from parts of the country where it's plentiful to where it's needed because we know that there's different needs around the country. voice-verified

Will you be doing that? voice-verified

Uh what concerns do you have about the potato and the vegetable crops right now, Minister? voice-verified

that is g is going to be great, isn't it? voice-verified

Uh apart from how it's impacting uh suppliers, it also means that the price of potatoes is set to rise in the coming weeks. voice-verified

All right. voice-verified

We've also heard from the Green Party finally, Ministers, calling for urgent and immediate support for the horticulture sector, saying they're in the eye of a perfect storm right now. voice-verified

I mean, how do you intend on on helping them? voice-verified

Like there'll be many farmers uh listening right now and those in the agriculture sector saying it's all very well gathering a survey and having that survey in by by next Friday. voice-verified

But we are we are in the eye of the storm right now. voice-verified
