Weekly podcast: IFA crisis, CellCheck, Embrace FARM and Christmas wine
In this week's podcast, we discuss the IFA pay scandal, hear from CellCheck award winners and the farm accident support group Embrace FARM, visit a German farm and choose some wine for Christmas.
UPDATE: listen to our special podcast following the resignation of IFA president Eddie Downey below
Increasing numbers of members are saying they will leave the organisation. IFA environment committee chair Harold Kingston reflects on the situation with digital editor Thomas Hubert.
This week, the CellCheck awards honoured the 500 best dairy farmers in the country in terms of somatic cell counts. Irish Farmers Journal news journalist Odile Evans talked to a couple who made it to the top 10: James and Carmel Croke from Co Tipperary.
For another perspective on dairying, Odile also visited a German farm recently. The Stratemann family farm has a turnover of €1.8m with just 75 cows. A group of young Irish farmers who went there with Macra and Ornua shared their impressions of the visit.
This week, the support group Embrace FARM announced that they were setting up a network in Cork to help the families affected by farming accidents. Thomas Hubert recently talked to one of the group’s founders, Brian Rohan.
Finally, Irish Country Living consumer editor Ciara Leahy recommends eight wines to impress this Christmas without breaking the bank.
