On this week’s Farm Tech Talk, Stephen Robb is joined by Darren Carty, Aidan Brennan and Martin Merrick.

During the show, Aidan talks to us about pre-calving checklists and spreading slurry as a busy period for both approaches.

We also discuss the key findings from the annual IFAC farm report, which revealed that rules and regulation remain the biggest concern for dairy farmers, while farm viability and price tops concerns from beef, sheep and tillage farmers.
