Addressing Cian and the other young farm students, Mr Drennan cited the increasing complexity of the issues around farming, highlighted the need for more advanced training and education and urged the young people to realise that they must involve themselves in farm organisations and ‘step up’ if the particular requirements of their generations were to get the attention and detailed responses needed.
