Last week, Irish Farmers Journal entries claimed the top two prizes in the online category at the International Federation of Agricultural Journalist (IFAJ) awards. Our sheep and buildings specialist Peter Varley won first prize for his article on AI in sheep while digital editor Thomas Hubert came second for his report on an Irish-made wind turbine operating in France.

We are delighted to have received international recognition for the quality of the editorial content we produce and indeed the sophistication of our digital platforms. This follows on winning best mobile app at the Social Media Awards as well as second place in the Media Brand of the Year awards.

We offer thanks to all our readers and commercial clients for the continued support.
