Over the October bank holiday weekend thousands of members from all across the country flocked to Limerick for the biggest event on the Macra na Feirme calendar, the national conference or ‘rally’ as it’s affectionately known. It was an action-packed weekend featured a number of competition national finals and our annual agricultural conference “reaching your farming potential”.

Phil Hogan, EU Agriculture Commissioner and a former branch president of Macra, delivered the keynote speech at last weekend’s Macra national conference.
