Ear to the Ground presenters Ella, Helen and Daragh
RTÉ’s popular farming and rural affairs programme, Ear to the Ground, continues its groundbreaking 30th Season tonight, 24th November at 7pm on RTÉ One with a visit to Co Kilkenny.
In Episode 3, Helen attends a farm sale in Kilkenny, the largest in over 30 years. Darragh speaks with an Animal Inseminator in Cavan and Ella is in Kildare with a Farmer who farms under biodynamic principals.
Farm Sale
The decision to sell the family farm is not one easily made, but sometimes it is the only option. In October, Joe Cutogno who was born and raised in the United States came to Ireland to oversee the sale of the farm that his mother grew up near Thomastown in Co. Kilkenny. On the morning of the sale, Helen Carroll met him at the farm, to learn more about the history of the family before heading to the auction in Castlecomer, that afternoon.
The sale, which was one of the largest in Kilkenny in over 30 years, attracted huge attention and a large attendance, but would the price exceed expectations, and indeed would the farm sell at all? Auctioneer Joe Coogan oversaw the sale and noted the fact that it has been many years since a lot like this came on the local market.
