GERONIMO-the European Dairy Energy Website is delighted to have the support and collaboration of the European Council of Young Farmers

What is the European Council of Young Farmers?

CEJA is the voice of Europe’s next generation of farmers to the European institutions. CEJA’s main objective is to promote a younger and innovative agricultural sector across the EU 27 and to create good working and living conditions for young people setting up in farming and those who are already “Young Farmers”. CEJA achieves this by acting as a forum for communication and dialogue between young farmers and European decision makers.

GERONIMO supported by Practical Farm Ideas

Find how farmers save back-ache, time, money...

Efficient farming is more than a new tractor, drill or cattle crush... it requires a combination of husbandry skills, practical aptitude and financial intuition. Successful farmers learn from others, use their ingenuity, have an enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge, and a curiosity of how other farmers tackle similar work.

Mike Donovan's Practical Farm Ideas owes its success to the simple formula of feeding this desire for practical knowledge. With no advertising, the magazine is not linked to selling farmers products and services.

The extensive network of farmer-contributors has created the largest agri self-help group in Europe. Size and simplicity keeps the cost of Farm Ideas membership a fraction of any other farming organisation, yet it provides real 'on-the-nose' advice beneficial to all in the business, plus sound financial tips and advice.

Started in 1992, subscribers farm everywhere from Orkney to the Channel Isles, from East Anglia to Co Mayo. Large farm businesses and estates use Practical Farm Ideas to inspire and inform their workforce - smaller, one-man units are always looking for ways to reduce costs and improve margins.Click on www.farmideas.co.uk to find out more
