Oliver and Margaret Keating, farmers from Co Tipperary, were crowned this year’s winners of the Dairygold Malting Barley Competition.
On their family farm near Burncourt, Mr and Mrs Keating aim to redefine sustainable farming. Alongside their three young daughters, Emma, Sarah and Kate, the Keating family runs a mixed farming system that combines a significant tillage enterprise with an autumn-calving suckler herd.
