Chris Nolan @AIBBiz Agri Advisor spoke about the positive outlook for farm incomes this year and discussed some of the potential options for surplus cash if available.

Super farm walk on the Ahern family farm this morning. Michael and family were the overall Sustainable Grassland Farmers of the Year for 2024. Grass, cows, reseeding, clover varieties 🍀 and nutrient management were just some of the topics covered. Well done to all involved 👏

[John Farrell @john1_farrell]

Think this video pretty much sums up the great day we had.

What an empowering day! 🐮 One of my favourite IGA Dairy Summer Tours yet. Sponsored by @AIBBiz

Massive well done to everyone involved with @IrishGrassland and of course, the two host farms. 🍀

[John Farrell @john1_farrell]

We had a wonderful day at yesterday's @IrishGrassland Dairy Summer Tour. Thanks to our two host families the Twomeys and the Berminghams for opening their gates and sharing their stories. Lots and lots discussed. Key and common driver of profitability on both farms is grass 🐄🐄

The two farms are very different in terms of size and scale, with the Twomey’s operating multiple units while the Bermingham’s have focussed on the home farm and optimising the resources within the bounds ditch.
