"I voted in favour of the Dorfmann report on farming in areas with natural handicaps (Less-Favoured Areas).
Roughly 75% of land in Ireland has been designated as disadvantaged areas, and the current scheme provides aid to roughly 100 000 farming families. This scheme is necessary for rural viability and development, and to combat land abandonment, as well as to protect biodiversity and the environment. With the correct funding, this scheme can give income aid to farmers who are farming in very difficult conditions.
As farming in Ireland is restricted due to cold, wet weather conditions, I am pleased to see that the report makes reference to difficulties related to farming on unworkable, wet soils. I also welcome the reference to ‘field capacity days’, which helps to take into consideration the interaction between the type of soil and the climate."@en1
