Challenge laid down to young farmers

The search is officially under way for the 16th Young Farmer of the Year.

Young farmers who are actively involved in the running of a farm, full or part-time, are invited to apply.

Last year’s winner, John Buckley from Cork’s Carbery region, was on hand last week to launch the Macra competition along with FBD’s new brand ambassador, rugby star Seán O’Brien.
