Irish Farmers Journal Weekly Podcast

 What could rising tensions between the US and Iran mean for Irish dairy farmers — and could it push fertiliser, fuel and feed costs even higher this year? In this week’s episode, we break down the latest milk price developments, the backlash over the North Cork Creameries announcement, and what farmers should be thinking about right now as grass growth begins to lift across the country. We also discuss fertiliser availability, the latest on the Aurivo–Dale Farm deal, and how farmers are managing grazing in these early weeks of the season. And later in the episode, on The Breakdown, we tackle a question from a listener hoping to get started in dairy farming — should they be buying heifer calves at current prices, or is it better to wait? All this and a comprehensive chat with Vet Caroline Farrell.To subscribe to Inside Dairy https://ifj.supportingcast.fm/insidedairyAre you receiving our dairy newsletter?
