Farmer ‘honoured’ by top award

THE 2007 FBD Young Farmer of the Year is Bryan Daniels, a 27-year-old dairy farmer from Kilmoganny, Co Kilkenny.

The announcement was made at a ceremony in the Dundrum House Hotel, Co Tipperary, by former Agriculture Minister Joe Walsh. Mr Walsh chaired the judging panel for the competition, which was organised by Macra na Feirme in partnership with the Irish Farmer’s Association.

Mr Daniels, a Glanbia milk supplier, said he was surprised to have reached the final stages of the competition, let alone win.
