Irish weekly farming newspaper
The Irish Farmers Journal is a weekly newspaper (published Thursdays) which provides farming news, specialist advice, market data and country living features to the Irish agricultural industry. As of October 2019, it reportedly had a weekly readership of 263,000.[1] It is the largest selling agricultural publication in both Ireland and the UK,[citation needed] and it had a weekly circulation sale of 62,226 copies at the end of 2018.[2]
It is owned by The Agricultural Trust, which also owns The Irish Field.[3] The Irish Farmers Journal is the only agricultural publication which operates as a legal Trust.[citation needed]
Its ownership structure provides it with the ability to make significant investments in editorial content.[citation needed] An example of this is Tullamore Farm,[4] a model farm designed to test farming practices to improve efficiency.[original research?]
Laois gardening expert Lily Champ has been a regular columnist for Irish Farmers Journal.[5]
