Those travelling to the Ploughing are being reminded this morning to avoid using satnavs and to follow official signage. There is a very high volume of traffic coming from all areas of the country.

It's all kicking off as the crowds start to roll in. 78,500 people attended day one of the Ploughing last year - how will today compare?

Blue skies so far this morning at Screggan...

Agriland has a packed schedule of events taking place at our tent this year, so be sure to drop by us at Block 4, Row 10, Stand 184 over the next three days.

Good morning all, and welcome to our live blog. If you're heading to Screggan today, take a look at the site map to see where you need to head first - will it be the tractors, or for a bit of food, or maybe even some ploughing?
