  • 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.

    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.

Inside the Farmers Journal - Could there be an environmental twist to a future retirement scheme?
Q: Is 50 too late to start saving into a pension pot, Eileen?
Martin Glennon says it is better late than never, and with a proper structured approach, a meaningful investment can still be built even if started in one's 50s, especially when retirement is phased to reduce early-year pressure.
Young Stock Podcast - Longford man on suckler farming and steel fabrication
Q: What was the Farm Safety Tractor project about and what were your key learnings from it?
It was about teaching children tractor safety through a scaled, GPS-enabled vehicle; the project taught me about teamwork, project management, and the value of integrating technology with practical design.
Young Stock Podcast - Longford man on suckler farming and steel fabrication
Q: What led you to start your own engineering business after ABP?
I wanted to split time between farming and engineering, build a shop with CNC capabilities, and be my own boss, which I could do while staying connected to the farm.
The Tillage Podcast - Harvest report from the midlands as wheat cut in Co Kildare
Q: What's coming up after oilseed rape and is there potential for rotation benefits?
James notes that after oilseed rape, attention turns to crops like wheat and other cereals, with optimism for early wheat harvests in the Castle Dermott and Carlow area; he also discusses the benefits of including Altid Rape in rotations while warning about clubroot risk and the need to avoid too-tight rotations.
The Tillage Podcast - Harvest report from the midlands as wheat cut in Co Kildare
Q: What are the main factors behind the poor performance of some winter barley years?
The discussion centers on an unusually wet winter and spring, early sowing increasing take-all risk, and limited fertilizer application timing, which affected tiller formation and head development. Disease wasn't the primary factor this year, but take-all and weather-driven stress contributed to poorer yields in some fields.
