‘Future-proofing’ farm buildings at EuroTier

The farm building sector faces several challenges, including labour shortages due to competition from the industrial building and housing sectors and evolving animal welfare requirements.
Members of the Irish Farm Building Association (IFBA) visited EuroTier 2024 last month as part of an educational tour to see how they can stay on top of the latest trends in the sector. The group visited several farms in Germany, as well as the Hanover fairgrounds, where EuroTier takes place every two years.
