In this episode of Farm Conversations, we head to Kilconnor in Co. Carlow to hear about one farmer’s journey into organic farming.

Joe Nolan runs an organic sheep and tillage farm. 

Joe began his conversion to organic farming in 2022 and achieved full organic status two years later. 

In our new podcast series- Farm Conversations: Why CAP Matters - he shares how he adapted the farm, the challenges along the way, and the support available through schemes including TAMS and the Organic Farming Scheme.

As part of the Farm Conversations: Why CAP Matters podcast, we've been finding out exactly what Irish farmers believe are the crucial issues when it comes to CAP.

In this episode we meet Kevin Leahy. Kevin farms around 350 acres with his father and uncle near Causeway, Co. Kerry, growing everything from barley and oats to wheat, maize and beet.

But like many farmers, Kevin says the sector is under growing pressure.
