A spokesperson for Arrabawn has said Arrabawn Co-op is thrilled to host an Agri Information Open Day on June 21 at Gurteen Agricultural College, from 11:00a.m to 3:00p.m.
We are eager to see the return of this successful event, last held in 2022.
This year’s theme, ‘Protecting our Farming Future,’ emphasises water quality, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and sustainability — crucial issues facing the farming community today.
We will discuss and highlight the efforts of Arrabawn and our suppliers in these areas, offering attendees valuable insights into the latest agricultural trends and developments.
As the agricultural sector evolves, our aim is to provide a platform where information is accessible to everyone.
This year, over 75 exhibitors will be present, featuring live demonstrations on various modern farming practices.
Attendees can explore exhibits showcasing machinery, soil health, milk recording, water quality, veterinary care, breeding genetics, water heating, financial advice, and more. There really will be something for everyone.

Chair of Arrabawn, Edward Carr, shared his thoughts on the event:
“In these challenging and changing times, it’s essential for dairy farmers to unite and explore the opportunities available for our farms.
“With over 75 exhibitors, we hope there will be take-home messages for all attendees on the day that can be put into practice on their own farms.”
We are excited to announce four special guest speakers for the event: Eddie Burgess from the Teagasc ACP Programme; Conor Mulvihill from Dairy Industry Ireland; Ted Massey, senior inspector at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), and Edward Carr, chairman of Arrabawn and ICOS.
Damien O’Reilly from ICOS will chair the Q&A session.
Eoin Doorley, a committee member of Arrabawn, added:
“Representing the Birr area and our wider community of farmers is a privilege. The open day at Gurteen College is a great opportunity for farmers to exchange ideas and best practices.
“This event will be an excellent platform for learning and networking.”
Tipp FM radio will broadcast live from the event throughout the day. Attendees will also receive an entry to the raffle upon arrival, with a Rossmore Bale Handler and several other fantastic prizes up for grabs -it won’t want to be missed.
We encourage all farmers to join us for what promises to be an informative and enjoyable day. Everyone is welcome to attend this event, which will be bigger and better than ever.
