Irish Farmers Journal podcasts

On this week’s young stock podcast, Sophie Tyner chats with Hannah Furlong about growing up on a mixed beef, sheep and tillage farm in County Wicklow and the decision for herself and her parents to go into partnership together two years ago.
She also talks about balancing working full-time as a regional sales manager for Grassland Agro along with part-time farming and a bit of CrossFit on the side.

Down to Agribusiness: AI, land use and the US market in focus
This week, Stephen and Lorcan take a closer look at the second phase of the long-awaited Land Use Review and ask what this significant document could mean for the farming sector. Things are once again heating up in the Middle East and they examine what that could mean for fuel and energy prices. The pair also chat with IFAC CEO John Donoghue about his journey, the growth of the company, and why AI isn’t something to be feared. Finally, Stephen and Lorcan discuss Dale Farm and the importance of the US market for many Irish agrifood companies
