FAS TV S6 Episode 1
Welcome to Season 6 of FAS TV!
In the first episode of the new series, we’re starting the new series with a recap of this year’s spring calving and lambing with farm vet Tim Gerraghty. Tim also has advice for livestock farmers for the summer months including parasite control and bull management and later we hear from Calum Simpson – the 2025 Young Farmer of the Year at the Scottish Agriculture Awards – about his involvement as a member of the Scottish Association of Young Farmers and his journey to being crowned Young Farmer of the Year.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
In this episode, James Orr talks to David Speller, founder of OptiFarm, about how AI and real-time data are helping livestock farmers make better decisions, improve animal welfare, and boost farm performance and profitability.
