Watch: State of Play in Irish Agriculture – part 2
Welcome to part two of our three-part series where the Irish Farmers Journal specialist team provides an overview of the agricultural sector for ag science students and teachers.
In this week’s episode, deputy news editor Amy Forde talks to sheep editor Darren Carty about changes to the sheep sector over the last 10 years.
Darren discusses the average flock size in Ireland and where most of the sheep are located. He also tells us what impact continental Europe has on prices here. We also hear what is driving the trade in hoggets.
Amy is also joined by beef editor Adam Woods who outlines current trends in the beef market. We also look back at the beef protests and ask what has changed a year on? Adam talks about Brexit and we look at what the future holds for the beef sector.
Pedigree editor Shane Murphy tells us what goes into preparing an animal for a show - it’s a lot more than the hairdryers we see at shows around the country!
He also talks about how the cancellation of shows this year will affect pedigree farmers.
Amy asks Shane how common it is to see huge amounts paid for pedigree animals and why they often reach such large amounts at sales.
Finally, dairy editor Adian Brennan discusses where our milk price is in comparison with our European counterparts.
He looks back at how the industry has performed since quotas were abolished and tells us what the next 10 years could bring to Irish dairy farming.
