Farm sale: Meelin has lots to offer

FIELD OF DREAMS: Interest in this Meelin farm is strong.

Consolidation is the name of the game. All the talk about strong markets and grazing platforms is having the desired effect and farmers, where they can, are trading up and out.

And in the case of this substantial 160-acre farm in Meelin, Newmarket, Co Cork, it’s consolidation all the way. Poorer land on this farm is being pitched towards forestry interests, as the vendor sets his sights on more productive land.
