Welcome AG MAGers to Issue #5 – the spring issue.
Spring is in the air, there’s a stretch in the evenings, the clocks go back and farms right around the country are revving up. Does it get any better than this?
In this, our first dedicated spring issue of AG MAG, we’ve got a shed-load of great content waiting for you. So make sure you set aside a bit of reading time amid all the jobs and action that this time of year brings about the place.
If animals haven’t moved out yet, they will be soon – and what a great sight to see. The fields are beginning to come alive with growth and the weather – dare we say – should start picking up … if it hasn’t already.
As with each issue of AG MAG, we’ve got all your favourite features waiting for you. From the Sheep Shepherd sharing his lambing season updates to the Conroys taking us on a tour of their amazing farm, there’s something here for young farmers of every ilk. And if machines are your thing, be sure to check out our Tractor of the Month on pages 32 and 37.
If that’s not enough, we’ve a jam-packed AG MAG Readers’ Club in this issue, where young readers sent in pictures of themselves with their AG MAGs. What a loyal aul bunch you are!
As I always like to add before I go – a big AG MAG thank-you to any teacher, parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle who helped get this issue into your hands. We’re delighted to have you on board.
Now, spring into action!
