Dr Jack Kennedy has been appointed editor of the Irish Farmers Journal after ratification by the board of the Agricultural Trust.
The Tipperary man takes up his new role with immediate effect.
Dr Kennedy has been working with the Irish Farmers Journal for almost 20 years and served as dairy editor and most recently deputy editor at the newspaper.
He said he was thrilled and honoured to be appointed Editor at the Irish Farmers Journal.
"I will ensure we continue to innovate and challenge conventional thinking, to support, inform and serve farmers, their families and wider rural communities," the new editor added.
The Irish Farmers Journal is published by The Agricultural Trust. The trust's mandate is to provide the best possible technical support, market information and news to the agricultural sector.
It also publishes several other publications including The Irish Field, Irish Country Magazine and The Irish Garden Magazine.
