In a video released recently by Macra, Ireland and Leinster rugby playing legend, Seán O’Brien, ‘The Tullow Tank’ has been telling young farmers that preparation and growth are key components for a successful farm business.
Promoting the upcoming FBD Young Farmer Springboard event on April 29, Seán stressed that setting targets and tackling goals were part of any young farmer’s, or rugby player’s, strategy for success. Watch the video here.
Macra na Feirme and FBD, along with the IFA, are hosting the event which is taking place in the Heritage Hotel, Killenard, Co Laois and will focus on goal setting and revealing the steps necessary to be a highly successful farmer. We’ll help you put together your pre-season training plan.
