#Rye is the grain of the moment with 1000 hectares more planted this year than in 2024. I visit Dunsany Farm and Mill in #Louth to talk about growing rye, and McNallys farm shop to eat their gorgeous #rye foods. On CountryWide @rteradio1.bsky.social tomorrow morning 🌾

Not surprisingly Pat Whelan of James Whelan Butchers played a big part in this 👏🏻✨
