Bryan Hynes

Bryan is a dairy farmer from Clarinbridge, Co Galway. Following completion of an arts degree in NUI Galway Bryan worked as a news reporter for the Irish Farmers Journal. During this time he was farming sucklers with his father in Galway. In 2013 he commenced a farm partnership with his next door neighbour who was milking cows. In 2017 Bryan received a Nuffield Scholarship and began studying ‘the management structures of multiple units’. The same year he leased a farm in north Clare and commenced milking there in 2018. Today the partnership is milking 300 cows and will host this year’s Irish Grasslands Association student conference. Bryan is past chairman of Macra na Feirme’s agricultural affairs committee and is an active member of the Galway Grazers discussion group. He has a keen interest in pasture based agriculture.
