ArraTipp are Delighted to Officially Launch our upcoming Open Day on Friday the 26th of June!
The Open Day will take place on Friday 26th at Gurteen College, Ballingarry, Co. Tipperary, E53 TP93 from 11:00a.m to 3:00p.m.
We are looking forward to seeing the return of this successful event, last held in 2024.
This year’s theme, ‘Next Generation Farming,’ emphasises the importance of succession planning, skills development, and preparing the next generation.
We are excited to welcome Barry Cowen, MEP for the Midlands North-West constituency as a guest speaker on our discussion panel on the day. Aidan Brennan from the Irish Farmers Journal will chair the discussion.
Our panel will also include Edward Carr; ArraTipp Chairman, Ruth Fennell; Teagasc and Phillip O’Connor; IFAC. Our discussion panel will begin at approximately 1:30pm.
This year, over 80 Agri trade stands present, featuring live demonstrations on various modern farming practices. Demonstrations throughout the day will include silage analysis, hoof pairing, grass stitching into old pasture, farm safety, w**d control demonstrations and grass variety plots.
Attendees can explore exhibits showcasing machinery, milk recording, water quality, veterinary care, breeding genetics, water heating, financial advice, and more. There will be something for everyone!
Phillip O’Connor from IFAC will present the results of our recent Milk Supplier Survey on the day.
Tipp FM radio will be broadcasting live from the event from 9am-12pm on the day.
Attendees will also receive an entry to the raffle upon arrival with fantastic prizes up for grabs!
Refreshments and lunch will be provided to all attendees. Everyone is welcome to attend this free event with no booking necessary, which will be bigger and better than ever!
We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an enjoyable day at Gurteen College!
