After weeks of low prices, the Irish Farmers Journal's livestock journalists Darren Carty and Peter Varley say sheep farmers can now look forward to a better deal and an exciting Sheep 2015 event on 20 June.

Food processor Edward Spellman tells agribusiness editor Eoin Lowry about Ireland's changing consumer market; and Irish Country Living’s editor Mairead Lavery invites entries from safety-conscious farmers for this year's Farm Yard Awards.
