We must be concerned about the average reduction of 9% in farm incomes. Can the Minister confirm that this is mainly due to the reduction in the price of milk and that there has been a catastrophic drop in the incomes of dairy farmers last year which is impacting, in particular, on farmers with high borrowings? What will be done to rectify this issue?
