IFA has announced the rollout of the Farmer Health Checks Programme in locations around the country, following its successful launch at the National Ploughing Championships.
The initiative will provide farmers with a free health check worth €200.
In partnership with Croí Heart & Stroke Charity, Health Check Clinics will be set up at livestock marts over the next six weeks, beginning with Ballyjamesduff Mart tomorrow. IFA North Leinster Regional Chairperson Frank Brady is appealing to farmers and people in the region to make an effort to attend their nearest health check clinic and to be more conscious of their health.
He said often the focus is on the health of our livestock and land rather than our own health and wellbeing. Frank says this initiative is a reminder that looking after ourselves is just as important as anything else.
