This year saw the exciting re-launch of the Irish Farmers Journal including the new pullout section for machinery, motoring, plant and vintage. We hope that you are enjoying the read and the increasing content across all of our digital platforms and news app. Next year is gearing up for a busy start, with the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show in February, and the imminent news on TAMS for tillage farmers. This year delivered many exciting new machines, from tractors to homegrown manufacturing talent. We look back at just a snapshot of some machines that caught the eye over the year. With so much to cover, it is impossible to include everything. From conversations with farmers from the UK and across Europe, there is tremendous respect for machines made in Ireland. In motoring, Michael Moroney summarises what deals are on offer for those looking to change their motoring needs this January.
