That will allow the capacity to reduce the price of diesel to agricultural contractors. As a fairly significant farmer, Deputy Hayes understands the impact of the rising costs of fuel, silage wrap, feedstuffs and fertilizer. This puts enormous pressure on his neighbours. Many farmers in south Tipperary do not have an additional income and it is fairly hard on them. They do not have the capacity to generate another income outside the farm and must be assisted through reducing costs.
