The challenge started on Monday with baling taking place in Derry, Antrim, Down and Armagh, Monaghan and Cavan.
Host farmers pay €10/bale and contractors provide the service for free, with proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin, and Daisy Lodge, the Cancer Fund for Children therapeutic centre in Newcastle, Co Down.
