Due to unexpected circumstances we have decided to postpone our agm and journal and chill for tonight. We’d like to apologies to anyone that was looking forward to seeing the mighty ewes that make up page 3 of the farmers journal and whoever wanted to enjoy a cup of tea and complain about the evenings closing in. We’ll be back with a new date soon.

Head over to Agri Aware to check out their campaign! This International Women's Day, we are delighted to be celebrating the ever-growing role of Women in Agriculture 👩‍🌾
Here's our very own Éimhear Shortall with a brief video as part of the campaign.
Women have always had a firm role in agriculture but in days gone by that role has been both underappreciated and suppressed by tradition. Today, we have a voice and we're rising through the ranks of the agricultural industry. More and more women are 'going it alone' and we commend you 👏 It can be daunting, you can be underestimated when starting out and you can be outnumbered, but it is so so rewarding to prove the auld lads wrong eh? Agri Aware 's campaign features some incredible, inspiring women who discuss what agriculture means to them, the challenges they've faced and how they've gotten where they are today- waking up everyday & doing what they love 🚜 Hup na Mná!
