It is about transport support so that farmers can buy feed from other farms. Transport is a major part of the cost when it comes to purchasing feed, and now the County Administrative Board in Kalmar has written to Rural Minister Jennie Nilsson to receive financial support for this.

- The big problem is that the liquidity of many agricultural companies is already strained. This is testified to by both LRF, creditors and feed producers. Then a transport subsidy can be crucial for many farmers, says rural director Karin Bergman in a press release.

The feed layers are empty

LRF in Mörbylånga is positive about the proposal.

- A transport subsidy would alleviate the consequences and the urgent financial situation for an individual farmer, says Roger Gustavsson, chairman of LRF Mörbylånga.

"The situation is more serious now than before, since there were feed stocks since 2017. It is empty now and the financial situation is very serious for the farmers," he says.
