On this week’s episode of AgriFocus, Agriland editor Stella Meehan sits down with technical dairy journalist with Agriland, Hugh Harney and deputy news editor, Francess McDonnell to discuss the most topical agricultural issues at the moment.

From beef price to breeding to US import tariffs, the team gauges the feeling among the farming community and agri-business about the current state of the sector and the future outlook.

The podcast delves into the recent, and ongoing, ‘beef boom’ and what direction factories are heading this week as Agriland heads out and about to talk to farmers ‘on the ground’.

Hugh Harney fills listeners in on the current state of affairs for milk suppliers and what dairy farmers are, and should be, focusing on at the moment.

Stella Meehan also discusses the impact on tariffs on Irish agri-food exporters and the short-term impact for the dairy, drinks and other sectors.
