Irish Farmers Journal podcasts

It’s a busy show this week. We chat to Drummonds’ agronomist Frank Glynn on the threat of grass weeds and Drummonds’ managing director Paul Ward on Irish grain. Wicklow farmer Tom Delahunt chats mechanical weeders and organics.
We have loads of tillage news from the declining crop area to record straw chopping applications and the estimated protein payment. The public consultation on the whiskey technical file has also started. As always, we look at markets and weather. The Tillage Podcast is supported by Bayer Crop Science.

On this week's Inside Dairy, Aidan Brennan and Daire Cregg discuss the latest milk price announcements, reflect on the Pasture Progress Awards, and hear from overall winner Liam Rochford. The pair also take a deep dive into people management on dairy farms, exploring what makes a good workplace and why managing staff is becoming as important as managing cows. Plus, on The Breakdown, they discuss milk drops in cows, the factors driving performance, and the key watchpoints for farmers in the week ahead. Hosted on Acast.

On this week’s Youngstock podcast, Annie McGuinness joins Martin Merrick to talk about her rising social media following, the positives and negatives and her involvement with the Cooley sheep breeders.
Annie McGuinness has seen her social media reach sky rocket from under 10,000 followers to over 80,000 in the space of a few short months. The proud Louth farmer and her viral pet lamb Grá have taken Instagram and Tik Tok by storm, with the dynamic duo featuring on Ireland AM as well as local and national radio.
Annie talks about her background in agriculture, why she began posting content online and how that has grown considerably over the last few months, as well as the negatives and positives of a presence on social media.
Daire and Martin talk about what’s happening with them this week as well as who would play the Farmers Journal team if there was a biopic. Eoin Lowry, Head of Agriculture with Bank of Ireland, chats to Martin about financing land purchases; what banks look at in terms of repayment capacity, deposits and how it may affect a mortgage application.
