Kilkenny Macra Win the Irish Farmers Journal ‘Know Your Ag’ Quiz
The All-Ireland final of Macra na Feirme's annual Irish Farmers Journal Know Your Agriculture quiz has been won by the Callan Macra team from Co. Kilkenny.
The competition took place at this year's Macra na Feirme annual conference in Mount Wolseley Hotel, Tullow, Co. Carlow.
Team members were Patrick Phelan, Kevin Croke, PJ O'Keeffe and Jim Power. In second place was the team from Caheragh Macra, Carbery, Cork with the team from Dundrum Macra, South Tipperary taking third place.
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 Pat O’Toole 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 autumn.
