'New partnership': IFA to sponsor 40th anniversary Longford novice ploughing workshop
The IFA will invest €500 in the event and members will join forces with ploughing tutors
Longford IFA are sponsoring the Novice Ploughing 2026 and the event is taking place in Taghshinny, on Friday April 3 at 12 noon.
Bernard Egan was the winner of the 2025 novice ploughing and he represented Longford at the National Ploughing Championships last September in Tullamore and he came second in the Junior Novice competition.
Longford Ploughing have run the novice ploughing workshop every year since 1986.
In this new partnership, IFA will invest €500 in the event and also IFA members will join forces with the ploughing tutors to deliver an enhanced and even better ploughing experience and school of cultivation for students.
Complimentary hot food will be served at the workshop, thanks to local company Midland Restoration and we all look forward to helping young people learn the craft of ploughing.
Anyone interested in exploring ploughing can contact any member of the Longford Ploughing Association or call to the IFA stand on Sunday for a chat.
