"While we argue about the price of diesel, there's a Cork farmer embracing the future of farming Last week, I was packed off to Cork, to film for RTÉ's Ear to the Ground. Now, after 25 years of doing this, people often ask where on Earth we still find new stories. The answer, of course, is simple: somewhere, behind some hedge, there's always someone in wellies trialling some new contraption that might just change farming forever."
"The answer, of course, is simple: somewhere, behind some hedge, there's always someone in wellies trialling some new contraption that might just change farming forever."
RTÉ's Ear to the Ground filmed on a Cork farm where a farmer is adopting future-oriented practices. The farmer is testing novel machinery in a rural, hidden setting. Farmers frequently experiment behind hedges and in wellies with contraptions that could transform agricultural methods. Such practical trials introduce new mechanical and operational approaches to farming. The experimentation takes place against a backdrop of ongoing debates over diesel prices. Local innovation and hands-on testing offer potential pathways for improving efficiency, reducing reliance on traditional inputs, and modernizing farm operations.
