A Frenchpark farmer has been named the County Roscommon winner of a Pasture Progress Award 2025.
Tommie Devine was presented with his award by the Grass10 team at the Teagasc, Ballyhaise College, County Cavan.
The Pasture Progress Awards recognise progress in grazing management by farmers across the country. These farmers are growing and utilising more pasture on their farms, contributing to sustainable livestock production systems. This progress was assessed using PastureBase Ireland. The awards are supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with an overall prize fund of €40,000.
The awards are part of the Teagasc Grass10 Campaign, which is supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Teagasc, AIB, FBD, Grassland Agro and the Irish Farmers Journal.
