Striving for an enjoyable life and profitable farm

The 16th annual FBD Young Farmer of the Year awards is under way, with organisers looking for young farmers who are actively involved in the running of a farm, full or part time, to apply.

The competition is organised by Macra na Feirme with the support of sponsors FBD and partners, the IFA.

We spoke to the reigning FBD Young Farmer of the Year, John Buckley, who helped launch the competition this month alongside FBD’s new brand ambassador, Seán O’Brien, the Ireland and Leinster rugby player.
