“Our record readership figures are a further endorsement of our editorial strategy which is to continue to invest in producing high quality, unique and trusted content that our readers value. The record figures are also an endorsement as to the capacity and commitment of the team right across the Irish Farmers Journal who have continued to serve farmers, rural dwellers and the wider agricultural industry despite the challenges of covid-19. On behalf of all the team in the Irish Farmers Journal I express a sincere thank you to each of our 321,400 weekly print readers and our digital readers for their continued support”.
