Grass
Grass growth is down 30% on some farms around the country, as dairy cows fall back on yield by as much as 5L, according to reports.

After the fine growing conditions over the last couple of weeks, many farmers have cut pit silage. The question now is- have you got enough?
Haylage can be a real option to those who couldn't get their hay baled and stored on time. It is just as good as silage, reports say.
There is no difference between baled and pit silage in terms of quality, according to Teagasc's Dr. Joe Patton.
Grass surpluses mean extra silage is being made around the country, as temperatures are set to rise for the weekend.
