Ballymurphy Macra Club win the Irish Farmers Journal Know your Ag Quiz
The national final of Macra na Feirme's annual Irish Farmers Journal Know Your Agriculture quiz has been won by the Ballymurphy team from Carlow.
The competition took place at this year's Macra na Feirme annual conference in the Radisson Blu, Little Island, Cork.
Team members were Damien Joyce, Michael Murphy, Liam Carroll and Edward Coleman. In second place was the team from Kinsalebeg, Co. Waterford.
The quiz was devised with the aim of encouraging Macra members to explore their agricultural knowledge, to study agricultural literature and to broaden the range of topics covered by young farmer discussion groups around the country. Quizmaster on the night was Bryan Hynes from the Irish Farmers' Journal, who also compiled the questions.
The winning team has now secured themselves a place on the Macra prizewinners' trip next year.
