The Irish Farmers Journal is building on the “Fovember – Farmers Grow for Movember” initiative, which was started last year. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of men’s health among the farming community.

We have now linked up with ICOS and Full Health Media to bring the Fovember campaign to the next level. This year, we are running free health checks in marts across the country backed by an awareness campaign in Irish Country Living to ensure farmers’ mental and physical health is at the top of their priorities this Autumn and in the future.

The six marts where the FREE health checks are available are as follows:

  • 30 October: Roscommon Mart, Roscommon
  • 4 November: Raphoe Mart, Donegal
  • 10 November: Corrin Mart, Cork
  • 11 November: Castleisland Mart, Kerry
  • 17 November: Ennis Mart, Clare
  • 19 November: Kilkenny Mart, Kilkenny
