Macra na Feirme, supported by the FBD Trust, has established a service to allow farmers and landowners to explore their options and put compatible farmers in contact with each other.

The service is being managed by Austin Finn who can be contacted at 086-2541425 or on info@landmobility.ie or www.landmobility.ie.

The purpose of the service is to facilitate collaborative arrangements tailored to suit any specific situation. These arrangements can be as simple or as complex as desired, provided they are workable for all parties involved.

Three two-hour information workshops target at young farmers who are interested in opportunities involving working with another landowner are planned for the following dates.

They will be held from 8pm to 10pm at three Teagasc offices:

  • Roscommon: Wednesday, 22 January.
  • Moorepark: Thursday, 23 January.
  • Kilkenny: Thursday, 30 January.
  • There is no charge and the meetings are open to all.
