Useful in challenging times

The next six to 12 months may prove challenging for some farmers within certain agricultural markets. Brexit and its impact on currency markets is particularly critical to the Irish beef sector. Irish dairy farmers supplied over seven billion litres of milk in 2017 and with further growth anticipated in 2018, there will be continued investment in farm buildings and infrastructure to support this extra production. With milk prices expected to fall in 2018, some may require cash flow support from their bank. Commodity price volatility can have an enormous impact on individual farmers. For example, a year-on-year five cent per litre decrease in milk price for a dairy farmer supplying 500,000 litres annually, is a €25,000 reduction in annual turnover.
