Fifty IFA members, including President Francie Gorman, made the journey across the Irish Sea for the networking and information sharing visit on Tuesday, 11 June.
They met NFU President Tom Bradshaw, Deputy President David Exwood, Vice President Rachel Hallos, NFU Director-General Terry Jones, Director of Policy Andrew Clark and Midlands members on their tour.
After viewing an anaerobic digestion plant and a mixed farm/manufacturing business in Warwickshire on an evening farm walk, the group had the chance to socialise and share information on market developments and other topics with NFU officeholders, members and directors at a barbecue.
