Macra weekend to mix fun with serious debates

It’s Macra na Feirme annual conference (rally) weekend, a time for the usually carefree members to really let their hair down!

Setting the tone for the rally theme, organising committee chair Eric Driver said, “We are currently in unknown territory with the CAP programme, and it is imperative that the young farmers of today and tomorrow make their voice heard and ensure the CAP is directed to the active farmer.”
