It is owned by The Agricultural Trust, which also owns The Irish Field.[3] The Irish Farmers Journal is the only agricultural publication which operates as a legal Trust.[citation needed]
Its ownership structure provides it with the ability to make significant investments in editorial content.[citation needed] An example of this is Tullamore Farm,[4] a model farm designed to test farming practices to improve efficiency.[original research?]
