Tillage
The sunshine and good weather of the past few days has been welcomed by tillage farmers, especially those with spring cereals still to cut, writes tillage editor Siobhán Walsh.
Sheep
Grass supplies should now be building nicely, with 20 days grazing ahead of flocks rising to 30 days by the start of October, says sheep editor Darren Carty.
Beef
There continues to be a huge reaction to the details around the National Beef Welfare Scheme, writes beef editor Adam Woods.
Dairy
Dairy editor Aidan Brennan says farmers should be taking advantage of the good growth to get well set up for autumn grazing.
