Farm Safe Farm Well: 'I'm not as agile as I used to be'

In the latest instalment of Agriland Media's series, Farm Safe, Farm Well, we meet a farmer who has changed his approach to farm work as he gets older.

Padraig Moran runs a beef and tillage enterprise with his son Eoin at Coorevin Farm in Borrisokane, Co. Tipperary.

While he has been farming all his life, Padraig has adjusted how he manages his tasks on the farm as his 65th birthday nears.

"Firstly, I've to be conscious of my age, I'm not getting younger, so I've to approach things an awful lot different than I used to," he said.

The Farm Safe Farm Well series, produced by Agriland Media in conjunction with AXA Insurance, is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
