The new arrangement for dairy farmers will result in a huge decline in the number of dairy farmers from the current figure of 27,000 to under 18,000 by 2012, with an average quota of approximately 65,000 gallons. Early decoupling gives dairy farmers the option to get out of milk, while retaining their payments. The farmers to whom I have spoken want the Minister to clarify that point. Beef producers will be better off as a result of full decoupling, while the big losers will be the factory or commercial farmers. There are not many such farmers because we are a country of small farmers compared to other countries in Europe.
