The Irish Farmers Journal has joined forces with RTÉ Radio 1’s Countrywide and Ballpoint Press to publish a book about people’s memories of living and working in rural Ireland.
Readers and listeners with stories are invited to submit 1,000 to 2,000 words for consideration to be published in the anthology, to be entitled "Around the Farm Gate: A Treasure Trove of Irish Stories".
The successful stories will become part of a published collection to be released as a gift for future generations to look back on a bygone era of Ireland; a time when the country was truly rural.

The publication is being undertaken to preserve diverse tales from a rapidly disappearing Ireland; one whose people have experiences growing up and around family farms.
Submissions can be sent via email to farmgate@farmersjournal.ie, or by post to: Farmgate, Irish Farmers Journal, Irish Farm Centre, Bluebell, Dublin 12.
Closing date for entries now extended until 13 July.
