With grass growth rates stagnated across the country and with moisture deficits seen in most areas, farmers worry about their cow's energy...

Grass growth figures continue to show a positive trend, but has growth actually stalled once again on many farms?
Many parts of the country had some level of rainfall in the last few days, as farms were really felling the pinch of reduced grass growth.
Grass
The amount of grass that’s grown on your farm is influenced by a range of factors, with each year posing a different challenge to farmers.
Environment
Met Éireann is predicting a dry and warm week ahead, and with that, growing restrictions in many areas due to soil moisture deficits.
Tillage
Little drying has occurred this week as fog and light rain prevented soil conditions from improving. Work was done in parts of the country.
The south-east of the country is continuing to see soil moisture deficits (SMD) exceeding 90mm in figures released on July 25.
Large parts of the country are in need of rain and, as a result, grass growth rates have dipped over recent days and weeks.
