Six Credit Unions in the Cork-Kerry region have joined forces to launch a new agri loan product called Cultivate. 

My generation is disincentivised from staying in farming and that has to change – we desperately need new policies, where farmers are paid a fair price for their work

Skibbereen and Bandon Credit Union will host the second in their series of Women in Agriculture forums.

Minister Jim Daly has given a commitment to fund the national social farming initiative, which supports those with mental health issues or intellectual disabilitites. 

West Cork farmers need to decarbonise their operations and look at providing, not only themselves with biomass energy, but also their communities.

The recent winner of the Bandon Co-op Sustainability Award at the Carbery Milk Quality Awards, Vanessa Kiely-O'Connor gave us an overview of her 23.23ha farm in Upton, Innishannnon. 

Putting the family at the heart of the farm is what makes Irish agriculture special and is what gives us our competitive edge.

The stage is set for the 4th annual West Cork Farming Awards at the Celtic Ross Hotel in Rosscarbery, starting at 12 noon sharp this Sunday.
