IFA bids to drive Laois membership via ‘innovative’ Toyota Hilux raffle
Laois IFA chairman urges local farmers to sign up
The IFA has launched a new competition to help drive new membership and be in with a chance to win some valuable prizes that include a Toyota Hilux.
The Association says the Refer a Friend Competition is a fantastic opportunity for members to help grow the Association while being in with a chance to win some incredible prizes.
When an existing IFA member successfully refers a friend who joins the Association, both the member and their friend will be entered into a draw to win:
- New Toyota Hilux
- €2,000 FBD Insurance voucher
- Annual subscription to the Irish Farmers Journal (print and digital)
IFA Laois County Chair, Henry Burns, encouraged local members to get involved.
"This competition is a great opportunity for our members to showcase the strength of our Association and the many benefits of being part of the IFA.
“IFA has maintained a membership base of more than 2,100 voluntary members in Laois through its constant representation of farmers across all sectors, the supports it provides, and its comprehensive membership benefits package.
“We invest significant time and resources in supporting our members and ensuring their voices are heard at every level.
"This new Refer a Friend initiative is an innovative way of encouraging our existing members to help attract new members to the Association and strengthen our collective voice. I would encourage all members to get involved and start referring today,” said the Mountmellick farmer.
His fellow Laois man and IFA President Francie Gorman also encouraged members to bring their farming friends into the fold.
“Every new member strengthens our organisation and enhances our ability to advocate effectively for farmers across Ireland. The stronger our membership, the stronger our voice,” said the Ballinakill man.

IFA National Treasurer, Patrick McCormick, also spoke about the initiative.
"We encourage our members to bring their farming friends into the fold. Every new member strengthens our organisation and enhances our ability to advocate effectively for farmers across Ireland. The stronger our membership, the stronger our voice," he said.
IFA Director of Organisation, James Kelly, said the IFA has 71,000 and added that the Refer a Friend Competition reflects an ongoing commitment to strengthening the Association, ensuring that farmers have a powerful and united voice.
