Irish ploughing and innovation
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Enterprise Ireland in South Africa, The Dairy Mail was able to attend the 85th Irish National Ploughing Championships in Tullamore, Ireland recently. Although the name conjures up images of a country ploughing competition, this is also Europe's largest outdoor agricultural trade exhibition. This year saw the most successful championships ever, with over 1 500 exhibitors and a record-breaking 283 000 visitors attending over three days.
