ICMSA Young Farmers Forum Webinar Wednesday 14th January 2026 at 8.00pm

Dear Young Farmer,

We would like to wish you a happy and healthy new year.

During November 2025, ICMSA sent a survey to our Young Farmers group to see what format, topics and type of meetings/events they would like to see being held.   

Based on the feedback from this forum, we have decided to hold a webinar on Wednesday 14^th of January at 8.00pm covering the following topics:

• International Dairy Markets & Prospects for 2026 by Lucas Fuess, Senior Dairy Analyst with Rabobank.
• 10 ways to ensure cost/income efficiency in 2026 by Joe Patton, Head of Teagasc Dairy Knowledge Transfer Department.

This webinar will in turn be followed by subsequent online webinars on further topics of interest based on the survey over the coming months.

You are receiving this email based on your attendance at the previous event or you have been put forward for this Forum in consultation with your County Executive Officers or by your local Member Relations Officer.  This will be an excellent opportunity to hear expert advice and analysis on the year ahead and we would love for you to participate in the webinar.

To register for the webinar and receive a login link, email your name, address and phone number to meetings@icmsa.ie or send your interest via WhatsApp to 087 1622049.   If there are other young farmers that you think might be interested in attending the event, feel free to register them for the event with the details above.  

As this will be run as a webinar, your attendance can be anonymous to other attendees apart from the organisers within ICMSA.   If you have questions on the night, they can be asked during the webinar, submitted via a chat box or can be forwarded in confidence to the organisers in ICMSA before the event via the following email address: meetings@icmsa.ie.

Looking forward to hearing from you on the night,

Kind regards,

Denis Drennan,

President.
