Macra is worth a look for young people

A year of fun and activity is starting with Macra na Feirme, kicking off with our annual conference (rally) this weekend in Tullow, Co Carlow, writes Aoife Helly, PR Manager of Macra. This event is seen as the highlight of the Macra year and makes a great start for 12 months of sports, travel, competitions, a fantastic social life, and, for some, farming.
