The Sustainable Grassland Farmer of the Year competition for 2023 was officially launched in the Teagasc Agricultural and Innovation Centre, Moorepark, Fermoy, Co. Cork by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue TD.
This is the seventh year of the competition which recognises farmers who are achieving high levels of grass utilisation in a sustainable manner.
The Sustainable Grassland Farmer of the Year competition is an initiative that is part of the Teagasc Grass10 Campaign which is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Teagasc, AIB, FBD, Grassland Agro and the Farmers Journal.
The Minister highlighted that improving environmental sustainability and reducing greenhouse gases are significant challenges for the sector and will have an impact on how we produce grass.
Along with the overall Sustainable Grassland Farmer of the Year award, there are different award categories including awards for best dairy enterprise, best drystock enterprise, nutrient management use and efficiency, young farmer (<30 years) and organic farming. The competition is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with an overall prize fund of €30,000. Each category winner will receive €5,000.
The overall winner will be selected from the category winners and will receive an additional €5,000.
