Bluetongue – UK update, spread control measures and vaccination

Dr Fiona Lovatt from Flock Health joins us on this week’s OviCast to talk about the bluetongue situation in the UK. Fiona gives us a description of the condition and explains the impact it has on livestock. We discuss the spread of it in Europe and the UK and the control measures put in place to limit its impact and how they work. We also discuss the role of vaccination and how this differs from previous serotypes encountered. More information on bluetongue can be found on the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine’s website at: https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/cd6c0-bluetongue-virus/ For more episodes from the OviCast podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/sheep/ovicast-sheep-podcast

Matt Dempsey on Brazilian beef and the future of the Irish beef industry

On this special 300th episode of the Beef Edge podcast, Matt Dempsey, whose career spans multiple decades and various roles in agricultural journalism and beyond joins host Catherine Egan. Matt has been instrumental in driving innovations in Irish agriculture through his work as a journalist, farmer and chairman of various industry groups and he gives his outlook for the Irish beef industry. Matt discusses intervention, suckler incentive scheme, beef tribunal, BSE and Foot and Mouth to name but a few. Matte highlights the work done by the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation as a significant breakthrough as well as the emphasis on easy calving, and also of marbling of beef. He also comments on the emergence of grazing management, fertiliser, and especially grass varieties and reseeding that have been revolutionary. Matt discusses a previous campaign that the Farmers' Journal and the IFA carried out in relation to Brazilian beef which succeeded in getting the actual import regime changed at Brussels level when the beef trade in Ireland and Europe looked as if it was going to be fundamentally undermined. A huge thanks to everyone that has appeared on the Beef Edge podcast over the past 300 episodes and to all the listeners for making the podcast such a success. Be sure visit us at the Teagasc stand at the Ploughing next week!

Late pregnancy nutrition: energy demand, ration composition & protein source

For the latest OviCast podcast, Ciarán Lynch discusses late pregnancy nutrition with Dr Tim Keady. Tim discusses the impact of nutrition on performance in the weeks before lambing and Tim explains the increase in foetal growth that occurs during these final weeks of gestation and the impact this has on the ewe’s energy demand and intake. He discusses concentrate price and why it’s essential to examine ration composition when purchasing. Tim expands on this point giving his pick of energy, fibre and protein sources he would include in a ration. The discussion moves on to the impact of protein source on performance with Tim discussing the results of trials comparing soya bean meal to alternative protein sources. Finally, Tim explains target feeding rates and what influences this. For more episodes from the OviCast podcast, visit the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/sheep/ovicast-sheep-podcast

When Costs Climb: Protecting Profit on Beef Farms

With rising input costs and tighter margins, it’s never been more important to understand your costs of production and where your system stands. On this week’s episode of the Beef Edge podcast, Teagasc beef specialist, David Argue, who has been working through a range of beef budgets for autumn 2025 and spring 2026, discusses everything from under-16 month bull systems, to forward store finishing, as well as dairy calf-to-beef enterprises, looking at the assumptions behind them and how they stack up financially. David also outlines the impact that increases in concentrate, fertiliser and contractor charges will have on break even and margin in the systems. Good health and management are essential as well and David discusses some of the opportunities to cut costs without affecting performance highlighting the importance of completing a budget for your farm and system.

Minimising BYDV in crops

BYDV levels are high and it can have a significant negative yield impact in both winter and spring crops. Dr Louise McNamara joins The Tillage Edge this week to chat about the current BYDV levels in winter crops and how to minimise BYDV in spring crops. Louise says it is too late to control aphids in winter crops but almost all spring crops are at a high risk from BYDV and it is critical to control aphids with the correct timing.

Buffer zones – where to put them on your farm

Buffer zones are important to protect waterbodies and Hugh Rooney, a Teagasc ASSAP advisor, joins this week’s Tillage Edge to talk about how buffer zones are necessary and what benefits these areas can bring. Hugh explains that protecting waterbodies from nitrates, phosphates, sediment, pesticides and organic matter are all crucial to help the healthy status of rivers. He highlights the areas on the farm where three metre buffer zones are necessary and also talks about the need for six metre buffer zones for late harvested crops like potatoes, beet, maize, root vegetables, etc. For more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:https://www.teagasc.ie/crops/crops/the-tillage-edge-podcast/ Produced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com

Reduced potato yields with 30% still to be harvested

The weather through 2022 has adversely affected potato yields and a reduction of at least 15% is expected. The very wet weather has delayed harvest and more yield losses are expected from these unharvested crops. On the Tillage Edge this week Shay Phelan, a potato specialist in Teagasc, discusses how potato farmers are coping with the wet conditions and extremely high costs this year. Shay says that there is approximately 20-30% of the potato crop unharvested and higher field losses can be expected. Shay also says that not only will growers spend more money on harvesting and storage of these crops, but the storage losses will also be higher.

Minister Heydon outlines how the tillage sector can be developed

Minister of State, Martin Heydon, TD joins this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to talk about the recently published Food Vision 2030 Tillage Report which sets out 28 recommendations to develop the tillage sector. Minister Heydon says the tillage sector is integral to the fabric of Irish agriculture and is a necessary part for all other areas to work well. He also makes a particular reference to the value of the low carbon Irish grain and how this can support the overall exports from the country. At the same time, he points to the fact that recognition is all well and good, but tillage farmers need to be rewarded for these efforts.

Andy Mahon, the Dublin farm manager in the UK – an update on his year so far

Andy Mahon, the Dubliner who is a farm manager in the east of the England, re-joins Michael Hennessy on this week’s episode of the Tillage Edge with an update on his year so far. The farm has a range of winter and spring crops and Andy has managed the farm to a no-till system over the past few years. Generally planting with a no-till system starts later than conventional systems. Andy started planting a little later than normal in early April. The ground dried out quickly and crops went in good conditions however the wetter weather after planting prompted Andy to reflect and perhaps using a tined machine would have been a little better as it would have allowed more drainage compared the disc (Horizon) drill which was used. Crops on Andy’s farm are looking well with good yield potential. This reflects an overall trend in the east of England and Andy thinks there is excellent potential in the winter crops in particular.
