  • Lack of Northern Irish content

    Good podcasts with thoughtful discussion but the lack of Northern Irish content is extremely frustrating and quite honestly disrespectful to your listeners north of the border.

  • Lack of Northern Irish content

    A well produced show with thoughtful discussion but the almost complete lack of Northern Irish content is very frustrating.

  • Could be better

    The sound quality is often poor. Content is good and balanced but overall feels dated.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trailer Inside Dairy - Milk league movements and the prospect of higher payments for grass-fed dairy
Q: Where are you setting your forecast base milk price for new entrants?
Forecasts are around 38 to 40 cent per litre for new entrants, while existing farmers are assessed using historic performance and net margins, with adjustments for recent peaks and the 10-year average to avoid lending against the 2025 milk price.
Farm Tech Talk - Budget 2027, Bluetongue and TAMS
Q: Hi, is there any chance of the minister extending the slurry spreading deadline?
Unlikely to be extended beyond next week due to water quality and nitrate risks, though farmers should prepare for possible last-minute decisions.
The Tillage Podcast - Budget, digesters and oilseed rape at the Ploughing
Q: Pat, the budget, it's coming up in October. Can we expect good news for Tillage farmers?
Pat expresses skepticism about a 67 million scheme being fully funded this year due to fiscal constraints, noting that the government may offer a reduced amount and that long-term structural support is needed rather than a temporary fix.
Ploughing day three: Hansen, Heydon, and rural planning
Q: What is the trajectory for CAP funding, and how does it balance with other EU priorities like defense and security?
Hansen and the discussion frame food security as an integral part of the broader budgetary considerations, underscoring that the sector must be funded adequately to avoid undermining food security.
Ploughing day three: Hansen, Heydon, and rural planning
Q: With that money on the table, Commissioner Hansen, do you think a full 500 billion cap budget is achievable?
Hansen indicates that while 500 billion would be ideal, realism is needed since some member states want to reduce contributions, suggesting a target closer to 400 billion for the farming sector would be a big achievement.
