Good weather, good yields and strong prices on many fronts means many farmers in the run up to Christmas Day are looking back on 2025 as not a bad year overall.

Agriland caught up with some farmers as marts get ready to wind down for the Christmas period to get their thoughts on how the year treated them and their familes.

Many at the mart thought prices were higher than any other year although "store cattle were dearer to buy in the back end, but in all it was a very good year".
