The Irish Farmers Journal is to open the gates to its newly established demonstration farm outside Tullamore, Co Offaly, on Tuesday 25 July from 1pm to 7pm. The 200ac farm is set up as a mixed grazing enterprise with 120 suckler cows and 150 ewes.
The farm has been reseeded with mixtures and monocultures of Germinal varieties, including Top 5 Extend, AberGain, AberChoice and Irelands leading kale variety Maris Kestrel.
Germinal will be in attendance at the open day to meet with farmers so do call to our stand.
Farm tours will take place at regular intervals during the day and topics covered will include projected profitability, infrastructure investments, grassland management, breeding plans and performance, and animal health. A discussion on the beef industry, chaired by Irish Farmers Journal editor Justin McCarthy, will take place at 4pm.
Speaking ahead of the open day, McCarthy said: “The Irish Farmers Journal‘s core aim is to provide farmers with the information to increase the profitability of their farm business and Tullamore Farm provides us with a new medium to transfer knowledge to farmers. The farm will be fully transparent and all performance figures and financial data will be made available to farmers.”
Admission is free. See more on www.farmersjournal.ie
