The serious and not so serious elements of the agricultural world were on show at the Macra tent at Ploughing 2017. Macra na Feirme held the first Harry Ferguson safe tractor driving competition, which took place over the three days of the festival and the orgnaisation also launched its Young Beef Farmer Sustainability Programme in association with Dawn Meats and Skillnets.
As is tradition, Macra held its Wednesday evening reception with many figures from the agricultural industry and beyond to celebrate the first anniversary of the Macra na Feirme Young Farmer Skillnet Safe Agri Skills card in association with ABP Food Group.
Away from the serious side, Macra also had tractorpool karaoke which proved to be a major hit with Ploughing visitors, while the Make It Meath rally committee also attracted a lot of attention with a sock-pairing competition.
