Talking about the IFA offer and new model Raymond Leddy, Head of Marketing & Product, ŠKODA Ireland said; "We are delighted to announce this offer for IFA members. Farmers are amongst the most prudent purchasers in the market place and demand durable, reliable vehicles with excellent efficiency, hence the reason we see such a positive fit between ŠKODA and farmers. In recent years we have been able to cater even more towards farmers' needs with a range of 4x4 vehicles, for example the Octavia Scout, the newest incarnation of which, will be launched at this year's Ploughing Championships."
