Editorial: the art of negotiation

Did you ever hear of a cattle dealer going on social media to undermine, ridicule or scoff at what another cattle dealer was doing or paying for cattle? No, because they know how to deal and where to do it. It’s around the ring or it’s in the field putting their money where their mouth is.
Editorial: crop development progress

2 weeks ago | farmersjournal.ie | Jack Kennedy

This week, the majority of tillage farmers across the country will be happy to be up-to-date on crop management and sowing ahead of the forecast rain next week. It’s a far cry from this time last year, as farmers scrambled to get work done in dire ground conditions. It seems crops are in good shape across the country and have good potential. It’s not simple, this year’s Crop Protection Magazine shows more products leaving the market and resistance build-up to chemicals.
Editorial: is milk price of €1/l possible?

2 weeks ago | farmersjournal.ie | Jack Kennedy

If milk prices moved as much as the beef price, we would be talking about milk suppliers in 2025 getting more than €1/l for milk instead of the 48-50c/l forecast. This week, two of our largest milk processors, Dairygold Co-op and Lakeland Co-op, released annual financial results for 2024. It’s another measure of how both these successful co-ops are performing. Align the financials to milk price paid out to suppliers for the same period and you get a feel for how both dairy businesses are operating.
New Zealand’s trade ethos similar to that of Europe

2 weeks ago | farmersjournal.ie | Jack Kennedy

When I sat down with New Zealand’s special agricultural trade envoy Hamish Marr late last week, China had just announced its retaliation to Trump’s tariffs announcement earlier in the week. China is to New Zealand what the UK market is to Ireland – its most important trading neighbour. Share values in Chinese agricultural stocks have actually bounced up on the recent tariff announcements. The foundation of the Kiwi dairy industry is a steady shipment of whole milk powder into China.

Editorial: easy answer to Trump tariffs - make farming great again

3 weeks ago | farmersjournal.ie | Jack Kennedy

This is the week that Government and politicians should realise that farming and food is our most important and competitive indigenous industry. This week, they are getting a clear reminder that all money made from food and farming is circulated locally and helps drive rural towns and villages.
Editorial: TB stalemate

3 weeks ago | farmersjournal.ie | Jack Kennedy

Thankfully bluetongue hasn’t landed on our shores. However, we have our own problem and it’s called TB. The TB forum last week heard policy presentations from the farm organisations and the Department of Agriculture. Whatever about the proposals discussed, the fact that the Department hasn’t published its proposals and presentations speaks volumes. Why not publish the discussion document?
