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. It is the largest selling agricultural publication in both Ireland and the UK with 263,000[1] weekly readers and it had an audited weekly circulation sale of 62,226 copies at the end of 2019.[2]
It employs 90 people and is owned by The Agricultural Trust which also owns The Irish Field. The Irish Farmers Journal is the only agricultural publication which operates as a legal Trust.
Its ownership structure provides the Journal the ability to make significant investments in editorial content. An example of this is Tullamore Farm,[3] a model farm designed to test farming practices to improve efficiency.
