    I just love this show. Even if I lived in northern Ireland, which I don’t, there’s no way I would know all of these little places and all these different interesting and (mostly) not-famous people. Anne Marie is such a warm and enthusiastic interviewer. I always feel like I’m right there and the show always seems to end too soon. Just a wonderful program.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Farm Technology, Harry Ferguson, and Open Farms
Q: Could you explain the collar technology and its impact on calving and cattle health?
The cow collar system tracks heat, health indicators, and ruminating activity; the data feeds into a drafting gate and alerts the farmer via phone messages if a cow needs attention, thereby tightening calving intervals, reducing vet bills, and enabling quicker responses to illness.
The Cost of Fertilizer, Comber Earlies and Hungarian Mangalitza Pigs
Q: What needs to happen here?
Farmers argue costs must flow through the supply chain, with price signals reaching consumers and enabling sustainable farming; they also emphasize diversification and efficiency to stay viable.
Farming for Nature and Luckpenny Traditions
Q: What role do traditions like luck pennies play in modern farming culture?
They remain a cultural touchstone for some farmers, reflecting community bonds and practical exchanges, though acceptance and practice vary by region and generation.
Farming for Nature and Luckpenny Traditions
Q: How has diversification of pasture impacted cattle health and farm economics?
Diverse swards improve mineral uptake, reduce worm and parasite issues, support grass growth, and lower veterinary costs, enabling more sustainable, profitable production.
Farming for Nature and Luckpenny Traditions
Q: What was the main motivation behind Jonny Blair's grazing approach?
To cut costs while also achieving environmental benefits, proving that soil health and pasture diversity can drive profitability when managed with adaptive grazing.
