伊人直播

FAS TV, delivered by SAC Consulting - part of 伊人直播, is a fortnightly show designed for farmers and crofters to replicate the knowledge sharing that traditionally happens at local on-farm meetings, lost due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Each 30-minute programme will deliver technical messages in a palatable and enjoyable format, with real farmers demonstrating advice in practice.

Jennifer Struthers, FAS TV Producer and Senior Consultant at SAC Consulting, said: 鈥淟ots of rural TV shows are not intended exclusively for farmer audiences. We believe there is a gap in the market for TV made from a farmer鈥檚 perspective.鈥�

Throughout 2021, 25 episodes of FAS TV will cover a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.

Filming will take place across Scotland, giving farmers the opportunity to visit farms from Stranraer to Shetland from the comfort of their own homes.

Cara Campbell, Consultant at SAC Consulting, said: 鈥淲e鈥檝e had some great filming days so far, in a socially distanced manner, and the farmers have all been really enthusiastic, despite the challenges of the winter weather.鈥�

Coming up in the five-episode Spring Special at the end of March:

• Economic and environmental benefits of calving at two-years-old
• Utilising grazing systems when milking with robots
• Protecting your soils: use of high flexion tyres
• Fit-to-farm: advice on physical and mental health
• Colostrum management at lambing time
• Woodland for shelter

There will also be regular features from 伊人直播鈥檚 Helen Carty, Veterinary Centre Manager at Auchincruive, and Fiona Burnett, Head of Knowledge Exchange and Innovation.聽
