  • 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.

Inside the Farmers Journal - EU wipes slate clean for future farm payments
Q: What is the likely impact of the CAP reforms on small vs large farms?
The guest explains that the changes include a baseline across a broad range with potential top-ups and a hard cap, suggesting smaller farmers might gain from top-ups while larger payments face reductions, and the overall transition will depend on national choices and further details.
Farm Tech Talk – Weather impacts, CAP payments and crop updates
Q: Any quick tips for managing repeat heats in suckler cows and ensuring good conception rates?
Consider targeted mineral supplementation, investigate potential metabolic or infectious issues with vet support, and ensure accurate heat detection and timely AI when appropriate to reduce repeat services.
Farm Tech Talk – Weather impacts, CAP payments and crop updates
Q: What's your quick take on whether silage quality and grass growth will recover if the current wet spell continues?
Grass growth may rebound with a return of warmer, sunnier weather, but farmers should plan for a potential late start to mowing and possible delays in first-cut silage depending on rainfall patterns and soil moisture.
Farm Tech Talk – Weather impacts, CAP payments and crop updates
Q: Hi Aidan, do you think the CAP payments should be published with more detail beyond the published numbers?
Yes, there should be more comprehensive reporting that includes pillar two and Leader funding context to give a fuller picture of how public funds are being used and what projects are receiving support.
Inside the Farmers Journal - Big landowners in Fine Gael’s CAP firing line
Q: What does the CAP Beneficiaries Database reveal about who gets the most CAP payments this year?
The database shows that the largest payments went to non-farming or quasi-farming entities, such as National Cooperative Farm Relief Service and Animal Health Ireland, with significant totals under specific funding headings, while direct payments to individual regular farmers are comparatively smaller.
