Farm Conversations: Who Should Get CAP Payments?

In the Farm Conversations: Why CAP Matters podcast we've been finding out exactly what Irish farmers believe are the crucial issues when it comes to CAP. In this episode, we’re joined by Cavan dairy farmer James Speares - a man with decades of experience in farming and a strong interest in the future of Irish agriculture. A former Cavan Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) county chair, James has been a vocal advocate for production-linked CAP payments, arguing that support should go to the farmer actually producing the food, rather than simply to the landowner. While James has now passed the reins of the family farm to the next generation, he remains closely involved in farming and continues to follow the big issues shaping the sector.
