DEAR SIR:

Well done to the Irish Farmers Journal in putting this demo farm in place. I look forward with great interest to developments on this project. I hope you can show it is possible to run a decent-size farm without having to:

a) Divert to dairying.

b) Have a job or other business as well.

You most certainly will face many challenges, including financial. I am very interested in the financial blueprint you have for this project, as I feel this is where a lot of farmers fail. Best of luck.
