Farming Matters 5th March 2025

Season 3, Ep. 21

On this weeks Farming Matters with Declan Marren:


Jack Kennedy, Editor of the Irish Farmers Journal, discusses what potential Trump tariffs could mean for Irish farmers and plans to ban urea.

 

Colm O'Donnell of the INHFA outlines why farmers need to get up to speed with potential changes under GAEC2 for farmers in the west and why 100,000ha of mineral soils are wrongly classified as peat soils under the proposals.

 

And the HSE’s ‘Taking Stock’ initiative which runs throughout March starts with Enda Geoghegan speaking with Clare O’Keeffe of Succession Ireland on the benefits of having a succession plan in place and how this can reduce stress on farm families.


Farming Matters is brought to you in association with McHale Agri, Forest and Garden in Castlebar. The programme airs on Midwest Radio on Wednesday nights from 10 pm.
