The word on the street is that there are a number of tillage farmers in the Ballycarney area of Wexford who are following in the footsteps of the Beef Plan Movement and are now calling themselves the Straw Plan Movement.

The Dealer has heard secret meetings have been taking place in various locations, such as The Ballycarney Inn and Jordan’s of Ballindaggin.

It has not yet come to light what the agenda of the Straw Plan is but I’ll be keeping my eye on them.
