Filming is up and going for Feirm Factor Season 4 with a new look format once again anchored by Four Live’s Maura Derrane – This year we have Guest Judges from the World of Farming joining our Resident Farming Expert Seán O Lionáird helping us to find out who really has the Feirm Factor. We had a massive application number this year with 212 new farmers vying for the top 12 spots – They have now been chosen and filming has begun – Guest Judges in the Series so far include Michael O’Doherty, Head of Veterinary Science in UCD, former Minister for Agriculture Mary Coughlan, TV Broadcaster Eanna Ní Lamhna, expert Dairy Farmers and the face of Premier Dairies Padraig O Scanaill and former Green Party Leader Trevor Sargent. We have been filming throughout the Summer in Clonakilty, Ballyhaise and Kildalton and hope to take the Final 5 to Wales for the Ultimate Showdown this year ! Broadcast Date for Feirm Factor 4 is January 2012 !
