MACRA na Feirme announced yesterday that it is to hold a series of briefing meetings of young farmer groups with a strong farm safety theme.

The briefings will be held in Mitchelstown (March 11), Abbeyleix (March 18) and Carrick on Shannon (March 24).

Macra agricultural affairs committee chairman Kieran McEvoy said farm safety has to be a key priority for all farmers, especially in the busy springtime period.
