In this week’s Youngstock podcast, Martin Merrick talks to Macra president Josephine O’Neill on how her first few months as Macra president has been going.

With the presidential campaign to elect Uachtarán na hEireann under way, this week we talk to Macra’s own president Josephine O’Neill. Coming up on six months in to her work as national president, we discuss how she got involved in Macra to begin with 12 years ago and what she perceives as the benefits of Macra and how it is not just a social club for younger farmers with a wide variety of competitions and events, but a lobbying organisation as well. We ask Josephine how her term has been so far, as well as her hopes for the remainder of her time at the helm of Macra.

From sucklers to sheep, AI to scanning, and sheep dog demonstrations to relief milking, 19-year-old Aaron McGann has plenty of irons in the fire when it comes to farming. 

From Bellharbour in Co Clare, Aaron has had a strong interest in farming from a young age and was an early starter in getting his own farm enterprises off the ground. 

His father Martin and mother Martina always had sucklers. In his early teenage years he started his own sheep flock and also began working with local dairy farmers, Bryan and Deirdre Hynes. 

In transition year he completed his AI technician course and got a job doing sheep dog demonstrations at Caherconnell Stone Fort. 

To this day, he still keeps up all of the above and shows on the weekend in his spare time. Aaron had great success at Tullamore Show with his Bluefaced Leicesters.
