Buchanan wins national farm forestry award

National award winner Ross Buchanan.
Inishowen farmer and forestry consultant Ross Buchanan was last week announced as the national winner of the RDS Teagasc farm forestry award for 2019-20.
Buchanan manages 48 hectares of diverse woodlands planted on his mother’s family’s home farm in Glentogher back in 2006.
“Forestry serves as a tax efficient pension, with excellent premiums providing tax-free income during the short to medium term,” Ross told the Inishowen Independent. “It was a tough decision at the time but it has proven to be the right decision, and the receipt of the RDS Farm Forestry award for all of Ireland for 2019/2020 has been the icing on the cake.”
