“These latest circulation figures reinforce the Irish Farmers Journal’s position as the largest selling farm and agricultural publication in Britain or Ireland. They represent a tremendous vote of confidence by our readers as farm incomes in some sectors come under intense pressure. The development of our Country Living magazine has broadened our appeal to the entire farming family. As a Trust we are able to devote our resources to building up an editorial team of nationally respected specialists to bring by far the most comprehensive and relevant coverage of news, market information and technical developments.”
