Farmers struggling with availability as well as rising costs
Issues affecting supplies of fertiliser for farmers pose a 'huge threat' to future food production on Island and elsewhere.

The union says the instability of the market is affecting cash flow for farmers.
President Ean Parsons is warning, if the situation continues, we could see severe food shortages:
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
Creamery managing director to leave role
Fast-tracked legislation was designed to close 'loophole of expanding problem'
