Irish Farmers Journal podcasts

Young Stock Podcast - Real farming life with Annie McGuinness and Grá

On this week’s Youngstock podcast, Annie McGuinness joins Martin Merrick to talk about her rising social media following, the positives and negatives and her involvement with the Cooley sheep breeders. Annie McGuinness has seen her social media reach sky rocket from under 10,000 followers to over 80,000 in the space of a few short months. The proud Louth farmer and her viral pet lamb Grá have taken Instagram and Tik Tok by storm, with the dynamic duo featuring on Ireland AM as well as local and national radio.  Annie talks about her background in agriculture, why she began posting content online and how that has grown considerably over the last few months, as well as the negatives and positives of a presence on social media. Daire and Martin talk about what’s happening with them this week as well as who would play the Farmers Journal team if there was a biopic. Eoin Lowry, Head of Agriculture with Bank of Ireland, chats to Martin about financing land purchases; what banks look at in terms of repayment capacity, deposits and how it may affect a mortgage application. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

CEO of Kinisla, formerly known as Kerry Dairy Ireland, Pat Murphy discusses the co-op’s name change and we review the performance of the business in 2025. With the weather forecast expected to pick up from the weekend and growth rates predicted to lift, managing grass quality and surpluses will be a challenge.
