A mild morning with a few showers in North but many areas dry after rain last night. A few showers today with some sunny spells developing in afternoon. More rain expected Thursday but exact track is hard to nail down, Southeast likely to see highest amounts with 20mm possible.

The Jena Experiment isn't just research, it's a wake-up call.

We've been simplifying agricultural systems when we should have been embracing their complexity.

The future of farming isn't in monocultures – it's in managed ecosystems.

@potooleifj Here's something similar, last Saturday, silage being baled in a field at the same time it is being ploughed for cereal/maize

@UCDGAA @SETUCarlowGAA_ @ucddublin @ucdsportsclubs @UCDstudents @bodibro @HigherEdGAA @KilkennyCLG @OfficialWexGAA @CLGLaois @DubGAAOfficial @westmeath_gaa Any chance of team lists for both teams?

[Niall Ryan @NiallRyan3]

This might not look much of a cover crop. Look at roots on vol. Oats that I pulled from the field. Soil is alive @BaseIreland

[Niall Ryan @NiallRyan3]

Did a bit of mowing today. Should have been baled Oct '23, rain stopped play. Will bale and wrap monday,🤞

#DYK #SoilBiodiversity is a NATURE-BASED SOLUTION❗

🧠 Interesting Fact: only 1% of #Soil micro-organisms species are currently known, compared to over 80% of plants.
