The Dealer hears that farmer Seamus McGlynn has retired from Smyths Daleside Animal Feeds in Donegal after 51 years.
Retiring on his 70th birthday, McGlynn said he clocked up two million miles in his career and did business with three generations of some families.
Having started out as a pig adviser, he moved more in to sheep and dairy sales when the bacon factory in Donegal closed.

McGlynn thanked all his loyal customers and offered this advice to young farmers: “Young people are still interested in farming provided they don’t overstretch and keep borrowings under control.
‘‘It is important for farmers to take part in farm walks but when you get back home, not get carried away.”
