Wicklow dairy and beef farmer to host Teagasc farmyard design event
Teagasc is holding a series of farm building events in response to an increased interest in improving farm infrastructure due to the recent improved income potential from dairy farming, the new 60pc grant on slurry storage and the changing requirements for storage under the nitrates directive. Among the farmers hosting an event, Paul Grace's family has been farming in Dunlavin for eight generations. His farm (W91NX40) runs on a grass-based system, and he takes pride in producing low-mileage, high-quality food. Paul milks Fleckvieh cows, a traditional European breed prized for its dual-purpose qualities, which produce rich, wholesome milk and offer excellent beef characteristics. The former publican also keeps a herd of Aubrac cattle, a hardy French breed known for producing beautifully marbled beef that's widely celebrated in France for its outstanding flavour, tenderness, and heritage. 'Alongside our three children, we're building a healthy, grounded life rooted in the land, animals, and shared knowledge that shape who we are,' Paul commented. Topics that will be covered at the event include milking parlour, holding yard, and drafting, with a focus on cow flow, drafting efficiency, and management of dairy washings. There will be insights on cubicle shed design, scraper options, slurry storage requirements, and details on the new grant, along with information on calving and calf sheds, space allocation and ways to improve labour efficiency.

Growing AI and Robotics Solutions Provider MindPetal Streamlines Operations with Unanet ERP GovCon
DULLES, Va., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Unanet, the leading provider of project-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) for the government contracting (GovCon) industry, today announced that MindPetal has selected Unanet ERP GovCon to modernize its business operations, drive growth, and boost efficiency. "I spent many hours a month manually managing timekeeping, the general ledger, and forecasting – all in disparate systems and spreadsheets," said Paul Grace, chief financial officer at MindPetal. "That all goes away with Unanet. Now, I save tons of hours with all that information at my fingertips in a single platform, and it's much easier for me to respond quickly to both government and internal MindPetal requests." With a team of over 150 experts throughout the country, Virginia-based MindPetal provides AI solutions and robotic process automation support to create efficiencies for federal customers, including the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security. In 2023, MindPetal acquired VerticalApps to expand its data and AI capabilities, helping drive rapid growth through new contracts. The company's expansion highlighted multiple challenges with its off-the-shelf ERP software and the need for a more robust, integrated, and mature platform. With the support of implementation partner Callao Consulting, now GRF CPAs and Advisors, MindPetal assessed several solutions but quickly chose Unanet GovCon ERP for its ability to integrate multiple functions like timekeeping, bookkeeping, and financial reconciliation, as well as provide robust budget reporting and forecasting in one user-friendly platform. Jennifer Arce, principal at GRF CPAs and Advisors, is a seasoned Unanet expert and appreciates that the Unanet team is always quick to provide answers and information. "Seeing MindPetal significantly reduce the time it takes to do multiple tasks has been one of the biggest successes of implementing Unanet. For example, they've cut labor distribution time from hours to seconds and invoicing from days to hours," said Arce. As MindPetal continues its phased approach to implementing Unanet ERP GovCon, it looks forward to learning how Unanet can scale with the company's growth plans through features such as Unanet ProposalAI and the new Unanet Growth Suite.
