Unfortunately there has been another farm death. A 52-year-old man died after a slurry-related incident in Co Clare on Tuesday.

After a slow period there, grass growth is again flying on the Tullamore Farm.

A radical overhaul of EU rules on organic production and labelling of products has been agreed following talks in Brussels on Wednesday.

Aidan Brennan was on the farm of John and John junior Russell in Co Donegal this week. The father and son duo are growing 12.7t/ha of grass on the farm near Mannorcunningham.

And finally, a group of adventurous Belted Galloways made the long trip from Scotland to Cape Clear this week. Watch their epic journey.
