  • 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.

  • 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.

Farm Tech Talk - Bord Bia, livestock trade and milk awards
Q: Are there concerns about commission rates at marts?
Yes, commissions can be high in some western marts, sometimes 2-2.5% of the sale price, which translates to substantial costs for producers; farmers should shop around and compare rates across marts.
Farm Tech Talk - Bord Bia, livestock trade and milk awards
Q: What should farmers consider about silage samples with very high protein and ammonia?
High ammonia and crude protein indicate excessive nitrogen in the sward, which can spoil silage fermentation; farmers should consider avoiding or limiting feeding from such bales and look for higher-quality silage, while ensuring safety and cleanliness of the feed face.
Farm Tech Talk - Bord Bia, livestock trade and milk awards
Q: What copper risk is involved with palm kernel feed according to VET Corner?
The panel explains cows regulate their intake, copper toxicity risk exists if long-term copper exposure combines with other copper sources, but the practical takeaway is to monitor copper, don't overuse palm kernel, and rely on vet guidance and testing when necessary.
Young Stock Podcast - Matthew Ryan on the challenges and benefits of studying veterinary in Poland
Q: So you're a fourth year student in veterinary medicine in Poland from a beef farm. Could you give us a bit of a background on your upbringing and your farming background?
Matthew explains growing up on a beef farm, his initial interest in veterinary work, and how the farming environment steered him toward studying veterinary medicine, including how family involvement and local farming culture influenced his path.
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.
