This week on the show, we take our listeners on the road as we record live from the Crops and Technology 2025 open day that took place on Wednesday 25 June in Teagasc Oak Park.

From careers to technology advancements coming onto the market, we spoke about the challenges and opportunities facing young people in the sector.

Padraic Guinan who is working with vantage Ireland, a precision agriculture company joins us to talk about their high-tech equipment demonstrating green on green spraying that is able to spot spray docks in grass. He speaks about how it is a game changer for saving on pesticides, money and things like clover in grassland.

Another quest joining the panel is Zack Harrold from Co Dublin, who has just completed his first year working as a teacher in Teagasc college of amenity horticulture. He speaks about the apprenticeship programmes and the opportunities in the sector for young people.

Finally, Peter Thomas Keaveney, machinery correspondent with the Irish Farmers Journal discusses the different technology on show and the importance of using machinery to help with efficiency and labour challenges.
