Reporter: );
Laois IFA have joined the national launch of a new Agri Aware and IFA campaign.
Laois IFA Co Chairman John Fitzpatrick erected the first of three farmer billboards in Co Laois on the farm of Jimmy Walsh, Cullohill, Durrow.
The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness about the importance of Irish agriculture; the variety of sectors producing food in this country; and the critical role it plays in the economy and society.
The campaign is a showcase of our predominantly grass-based, family-farm sectors. It aims to increase the general public s connection with farmers.
