Farmers have to be weaned off their dependence on excess feed and fertiliser and get back to a clear focus on driving grass output, says Joe Patton of Teagasc.
Farmers should plan for early nitrogen and slurry applications to improve spring grass production, the National Fodder and Food Security Committee heard on Wednesday.
High waters on the Callows (Rivers Shannon, Suck, Brosna and Little Brosna) from July last year meant that farmers suffered the loss of thousands of bales of silage. and hay as well as grazing ground.
It is estimated that 230 farmers were paid support payments for loss of fodder last year. However, there are nearer 500 farmers affected by the floods, a meeting in Shannonbridge heard on Monday.
Our top farming photos from the past week include farmers scanning sheep, grazing cows on fodder rape, attending marts and more. We also visit Roscrea Mart and have all the action from the IFA AGM.
