Lisa O' Rourke's journey to the top of boxing is an interesting one and far from straightforward. Growing up on a farm in Roscommon, Lisa only started boxing at the age of 15. Since then, it's been a roller-coaster journey - one that involves her sister Aoife, the GAA, plenty of setbacks and ultimately a World Championship title.In this interview, Lisa lets us inside the curtain of what it takes to be a top boxer. Already a world champion and world silver medallist, Lisa is not content and has her sights set on bigger and brighter stages. The 2028 Olympics in LA is the ultimate goal but there are several hurdles to jump before that. Listen to Aoife's story on this week's Young Stock Podcast.Join us at the UCD Lyons Crops Open Evening on Thursday, the 25th of June at 6pm where we will be recording the Irish Farmers Journal Tillage Podcast LIVE. You'll get a tour of cutting-edge research into milling wheat, intercropping, and nitrogen rates.

On this week's Inside Dairy, we discuss the recent bounce in grass growth and what it means for grazing management over the coming weeks. We look at where stocking rates should be pitched for the remainder of the grazing season and how farmers can make the most of improving grass supplies.We also tackle a topic that is often talked about, but not always acted upon – cashflow budgets. How many dairy farmers are actually completing one? What are the different methods available, which approach works best and what are the key advantages of having a cashflow budget in place? With ongoing volatility in costs and milk prices, understanding your cash position has never been more important.Plus, we chat with Michael Carroll, winner of the Dairygold Milk Quality Awards, about the practices and attention to detail that helped him achieve top recognition for milk quality.All that and more, on this week's episode of Inside Dairy.
