“My interest in farming came from working on tillage farms. I got my tractor licence at 16. Before that, as a child, I would have ventured over to neighbouring farms just taking it all in and asking the farmers questions. I would then cycle home before it got dark,” says Cormac.After spending two years in Ballyhaise Agriculture College, completing a Level 6 advanced dairy course, Cormac was offered an opportunity to advance his education in DKIT. There were five places available on the Sustainable Agriculture Level 8 course.
