As 2021 draws to a close and we all look forward to enjoying the Christmas festivities, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the loyal readers of the Irish Farmers Journal. Your support has meant so much to us all. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been in a position to continue to work our way through what has been another challenging 12 months. To all those businesses and individuals that have been impacted by this latest round of restrictions, we offer you our support and for those of you that have recently lost love ones we offer you our sincere condolences.
