A few points on growing red clover silage. Mix contains 5kgs red clover and 8kgs ryegrass. The latest varieties have lower growing points making it suitable for grazing.
Top tip for farmers out there. Check your insurance policies to ensure your policy allows for the increased value of fuel, fertiliser, feed etc. on farm.
Monitor farmers are critical to demonstrate good farming practice to other dairy farmers in the region. Mark Treacy @TeagascCorkWest profiles the Buttimer family, dairy farmers in Ballineen, Co. Cork. He shows how labour is efficiently planned for calving https://t.co/tE3ntWfzmn
@GillwallyO @willpenrievans Silage plastic works well for the hedge but not great from an environmental point of view. I know Catherine Kenna has been trialing some black compostable film, not sure if commercially available though
** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT** to report any sick or dead waterbirds or birds of prey to @agriculture_ie via the link below, as soon as you can, if you see any this weekend. More reports coming in from around the country unfortunately. Please share!

@Cow785 @Germinal_Ire@DLF_IRL@Goldcrop Know a couple farmers who tried it around Timoleague. One gone on well with it, didn’t last long for the other. Needs dry ground as will not tolerate compaction. Headlands were first to disappear where I saw it due to machinery turning.
Lisavaird Co-op would like to wish the very best of luck to Ronald and Brian Shorten, Vivian and Evan Buttimer
& Conor Murphy tonight in the Carbery Milk Quality Awards!
