Pushing profits for two on a share farm in Co. Westmeath

On episode two of Agriland's all new season of The Dairy Trail podcast, we travel to Co. Westmeath to chat to Christopher Cahill. 

The Co. Cavan man talks us through entering a share farming agreement half an hour away from home on Tony McCormack's farm.

We hear how a focus on breeding and grassland management is pushing profits to ensure there is a wage for two at the end of the day.

Cahill also talks us through being locked up with TB, and the affects it has on a share farm.

What is The Dairy Trail?

Agriland's brand new limited podcast series 'The Dairy Trail' takes listeners inside the yard of dairy farms across the country to hear what is happening on the ground.

The new four-part series will cover everything from calving down cows, managing calves, herd nutrient requirements, getting cows out to grazing, and spreading slurry and fertiliser.

Listeners will get to hear how other farm systems operate, how different genetics perform, how different land types grow grass and how each farmer puts milk in the tank and money in their pocket in their own unique way.
