Early 2009 saw the launch of the new TG4 programme Feirm Factor. The groundbreaking series took 12 farmers from across the country and challenged their farming skills, business acumen and physical and mental endurance.
Now Feirm Factor is back for a second series... along with another brand new Land Rover Discovery!
The Presenter is Maura Derrane and our Judges are Alan Dukes (Former Minister for Agriculture) and Seán O Lionaird (Dairy farmer from Cork).
The challenges and tasks are tough and will compel the farmers to evaluate their own accomplishments and farming experience. We will see them undertake a variety of farm related projects, such as cattle dosing, selling, fencing, welding, computing, tractor skills, weighing and pricing animals as well as testing their business acumen and market sense.
A selection of guest judges will be making appearances throughout the series, offering their own expertise and experience to the contestants whilst helping the three main judges make their final elimination decisions. In series two we will travel to Cork, Kilkenny, Galway, Tipperary, Cavan, Wicklow and the Aran Islands.
In the exciting finale, the remaining top three farmers will travel to Charleville Castle Co. Offaly where a new winner and Feirm Factor Champion will be announced.
Every Thursday @ 9.30pm,
Repeated Saturday @ 7.15pm
