Kilkenny farmers invited to share their views on the future of farming

Ifac, Ireland’s farming, food and agribusiness specialist professional services firm is all ears once again for its fifth annual Farm Survey.

Ifac is now encouraging Kilkenny farmers to complete its Farm Survey and have their say about what’s important to them, their families and farms.
The online survey, at ifac.ie, takes approximately four minutes to complete and closes on December 11.

All participants who complete ifac’s survey will be entered into a draw to win a €500 One4All voucher.
The findings of ifac’s nationwide survey will be published in its Irish Farm Report 2023 – one of the most comprehensive farm surveys undertaken in the state.

The Irish Farm Report 2023 will combine the results of this comprehensive farmer survey with emerging trends across all sectors.
Ifac’s Irish Farm Report 2022 revealed that rising input costs were weighing heavily on farmers’ minds, as well as recruitment difficulties and financial planning, with two-thirds of Irish farming families yet to start their succession plans.

“Our annual Farm Survey uncovers real insights about farming in Ireland today – with the support of our expert teams, they help our clients in Kilkenny to make well-informed and positive financial decisions to enhance their profitability and secure their futures,” Ben Fogarty, partner at ifac’s Kilkenny office, said.

“The biggest challenges facing farmers last year, as revealed in our 2022 Irish Farm Report, were increasing input costs, struggles finding employees and carving out time for financial planning, in particular careful succession planning, which we know can empower families and provide a sustainable future for their farm business.

“It also provided evidence of farmer optimism and consensus about the need to take climate action, with 97% open to incorporating renewable energy on their farms.”
