CEJA, the European Council of Young farmers, has strongly welcomed the written question on young farmers submitted to the European Commission by a number of prominent members of the Committee for Agriculture and Rural Development.

The annual young farmers’ conference is taking place in the Abbeyleix Manor Hotel on October 25, starting at 2pm as part of the Macra Rally.

Macra members, including national president Kieran O’Dowd and CEO Edmond Connolly, were among those who travelled to Brussels to celebrate the 55th anniversary of CEJA, the European Council of Young Farmers.
