Clare farmers who’s animals are now in immediate need of fodder but don’t have the finances to pay for feed are being advised of a Special Hardship Fund.
Teagasc says the scheme is operating locally but anyone who wishes to apply must ring a national number
It’s 1890- 200-510 or 01 6072000.
Meanwhile,
Teagasc says that fodder supplies from the UK are now starting to filter through to the country and will be distributed by Co-ops like Kerry Agri and Dairygold but its warning it could be a few days before supply meets demand as the co-ops service their milk suppliers first.
The head of the organisation for Clare and Galway has also pointed out that in regards the Teagasc helpline there are still fodder supplies out there for farmers in need and that number again is 091 845 852
