On this weeks Young Stock Podcast Sarah McIntosh talks to dairy farmer and NDC farm ambassador Nicole Keohane. Nicole Keohane outlines her time studying agriculture in South East Technological University [formally WIT] and where her intrest in agriculture came from. She is currently an ambassador for the National Dairy Council (NDC) where she strives to promote the positives of the dairy industry and showcase the work being done by farmers across Ireland to improve sustainability and farming practices. Being a keen Macra member, Nicole emphasises there is a club for everyone (even if your living in Dublin like me). She also sold me on the idea of attending this years Queen of the Land festival that is on in November. Having spent the last two years working on a PhD in 'A non-antibiotic approach to improving udder health in Irish dairy cows' it has now turned into a Master's. This has given Nicole the opportunity to go into partnership with her grandparents on their family fairy farm over the next few months.
