I’d like to wish all our readers and commercial clients a very happy Christmas. With your support, the Irish Farmers Journal continues to perform strongly across our print and digital platforms and events business. It is with this support that we were delighted to be in a position to further invest in our readers through the launch of our suckler and sheep farm in Tullamore.

Over the last 12 months, our audience reach has increased dramatically as a result of significant double-digit growth of farmersjournal.ie users and digital subscribers. Meanwhile, the Irish Farmers Journal print product continues to sell over 62,000 copies each week with a weekly readership in 2017 of 270,000 (TGI).

We’re looking forward to bringing you a range of new initiatives next year and are delighted to announce that our Dairy Day event will return in November. Finally, please take care of yourself and all the family on the farm this Christmas and thank you for your support and feedback.
