In honour of Joe Rea’s memory and unique contribution to the farming industry, the Irish Farmers Journal, in consultation with the Rea family, will award a special bursary of €15,000 in his memory.
The successful applicant will conduct a piece of research or a study which will help the profitability of Irish tillage farmers or will outline a policy to rebalance farmers marketing power in the food chain. We welcome applications from farmers, advisors/consultants, industry and researchers.
The possibility of the study being part of a course, leading to a post-graduate degree, will be acceptable to the bursary funders.
