Can I ask the Irish Farmers on here. Is it as bad over there and will you be asking again for transport aid . Free transport to remove forage from the UK?
It’s raining......?

I wonder if they will discus hay burning and options for a transport scheme to import fodder

Do you profit from forage aid?
Has it put the fire out on the horse shoe pass.
Could see the smoke from our place.

@Guy Smith .I don't know if you are at the summit but just be aware if you don't know already Irish Dairy Coops have men in this country looking for fodder and if its as bad out there as the say they will almost definenety get an aid to buy Scheme going

And I suppose the SNP (oh, excuse me, the Scottish) government will be providing some sort of transport aid to get forage up here from off the Continent? To replace what little is left in this country after it starts going to Ireland.

so am i...for now....i'm getting no rain.....even if it does we've lost 2 months of growing season
summits are no good without action....i could do with a derogation to put stubble turnips into stewardship overwinter stubble....but in a month it'd be pointless
straw will be not be in the field in a months time so any decision on subsidised haulage needs to be quick

It's been dry since April and guess what's its now raining everywhere, typical nfu, they will cancel it now.
Good news! : I hear Fergus Ewing is due to announce funding for a 2018 forage scheme on Monday morning!
The bad news: applications closed yesterday, the lucky recipient will be notified in 18 months.
