John Deere 6320 and Asa lift topper was stolen from Julianstown, Co Meath last night. It’s a fairly unique combination, if anyone has spotted it please get in touch.

@paulawilliamss @HursonNiall @darraghmccullou Great to see more hort producers on your show, vitally important, massively diverse and not fully understood by the powers that be but needs to be nurtured and developed just like new dairy entrants...Keep up the good work 👍👍

[Ian Fox @IanFox9]

@ReesinkTurfcare Great pictures! What height of cut can the 4500 get down to?? Thanks 👍

[Ian Fox @IanFox9]

@Richard71374641 Work next door. Great project and progress! Did you incorporate organic manure to the infield? Bad smell in the office one of the days!

[Ian Fox @IanFox9]

@Mick_Gaffney Ha brilliant!

[Ian Fox @IanFox9]

@bingleygreens Great pic and use of the black plastic. Is that just one small section or is that from the whole green? Any idea of the weight per sq meter? Could see gk's getting competitive about this!

[Beotanics @Beotanics]

Beotanics are taking plant based (crop) research into the farm rather than on to the farm! We do our best to only research promising neglected crops from the depths of scientific knowledge in nutrition and agronomy to bring to local fields beside 1500 yrs of unbroken agriculture

[Ian Fox @IanFox9]

Great day demonstrating surface and ground water monitoring methods in operation in our Wexford catchment for 10 years!
