Irish Farmers Journal breakfast bulletin: antibiotics, sugar tax and LacPatrick
In the news today, 25 April 2018: the weather becomes more unsettled and we look at the effect on Tullamore Farm and the EFS in NI, while MEPs recommend cutting antibiotics use.
Met Éireann is forecasting a cool and breezy day with sunny spells and showers, many of them heavy or with hail and thunder. Maximum temperatures will range between 9°C and 12°C in fresh and gusty southwest to west wind, which will be strong in Atlantic coastal counties. Winds will remain fresh and gusty at night and temperatures will drop to between 4°C and 6°C.
Applicants to Northern Ireland's Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) can request additional time to complete works because of the past few months' bad weather.
Coming up on www.farmersjournal.ie
The Heritage Bill including proposed changes to hedge-cutting dates is back before the Oireachtas.
My Farming Week comes from a drystock farm in Co Dublin.
Listen to our weekly podcast.
What’s on today
