In April, Peter Varley visited a brand new shed built for John Tiernan’s flock in Four Roads, Co Roscommon.
Just like John Tiernan, Donal John O’Neill farms part-time – this time with sucklers in Co Cork. He built his new shed to suit his lifestyle.
On the dairy side, this five-bay calf shed was designed for an expanding herd in Co Tipperary.
Over in France, William Conlon joined the Irish Farm Buildings Association on a tour of this airy 130-suckler cow timber shed.
Long before he won the top prize at the Ploughing’s Innovation Arena, Peter Varley had spotted Bryan Davis and his solar water pump.
Finally, we visited a wet sloped field for a tricky drainage job in Co Meath in June.
