Food Harvest 2020: Discussion with Irish Farm Managers Association

2:35 pm

Mr. Kevin Cummins:

I am sure we can. Senator Comiskey raised the question of a farmer who had two herd numbers and had an issue with disease control. It is back to the same scenario. When somebody is starting off, they are trying to build some collateral. They would obviously comply with the same disease issues as if it was just one herd number, but it would lead to the possibility of the young manager being able to go into the bank and borrow money to buy stock and the bank would have a lien on the stock if a chattel mortgage was available.
