Neil Furey from Donegal is a finalist in the 2022 Teagasc/FBD Student of the Year awards which took place on 9 May in the Castleknock Hotel, Dublin.
Neil farms with his parents and sisters in Bluestack country in Co. Donegal. Neil’s parents have a small suckler herd comprising of Lm x Ch x BB cows and lowland flocks that are Texel x Milford Charolaise and the farm itself is heavy and peaty. Now at the age of 25, Neil and his parents are in discussions about how to best manage his status as a young trained farmer: his mother has purchased land that will be transferred in to his name to avail of Stamp Duty Relief. In addition to this, they are investigating the possibility of a partnership being formed.
