New Zealanders come to aid one man Irish farms

Visitors to last week’s Ploughing got a taste of farming on the other side of the world, on the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise stand, where a wide range of equipment from down under was on show.

And the National Ploughing Association welcomed the New Zealanders, by signing a memorandum of understanding with the National Fieldays Society, organisers of the biggest agricultural show in New Zealand.

Exchange visits, and other co-operative programmes will emerge from the twinning of Europe’s biggest outdoor rural exhibition — the Ploughing — and the largest agricultural trade show in the southern hemisphere.
