Farm Tech Talk – Contractor costs, beef trade, bluetongue scheme and merger update

This week, Stephen is joined by Gary, Adam, Darren, and Aidan to discuss the recent rise in fuel prices and what it means for contractors. Adam covers the EU-Australia Free Trade Agreement, the beef trade and the bluetongue vaccine scheme. Darren investigates how the trade for light cattle is powering ahead despite pressures on beef price, and Aidan has the latest on the proposed Aurivo and Dale Farm merger, now off the table. We also hear from Stephen Carey of Grassland AGRO on maximising production while reducing nitrogen costs.
