The National Ploughing Association has today confirmed that Screggan, outside Tullamore, as the venue for the 2025 National Ploughing Championships on 16, 17 and 18 September.
The Ploughing was held on the same farm in 2016-2017-2018 when it was hosted hosted by the late Joe Grogan.
His wife Lisa Flaherty Grogan will host the 2025 event with additional lands being made available for ploughing and parking from many neighbouring farmers.
