Summary
I come from an agricultural background of suckler cows and sheep along the Carlow -Wexford border. I have always enjoyed farming and knew from a young age that I wanted to work in the agriculture sector. I am currently studying Agricultural Science in South East Technological University and hope to some day get a job potentially in advisory. Even though I do not come from a tillage background, I am interested in the sector and would like to expand my knowledge on the subject.
