It is now time to start building a reserve of silage in farm yards. It is important that we continue to grow and utilise as much grass on farms. Find out more in the @TeagascGrass10 weekly update here ow.ly/7d2450v9UFs

Did you know that a typical research project in ag takes one yr to complete and another to publish? So much time for a what can be a one sentence conclusion. To ensure the research is robust it is scruntinised by industry experts prior to its publication.

Lime - a vital component in improving soil fertility 👍👍👍👌🏻✅

On a farm visit earlier today.👌 Farmer took advantage of the ideal weather conditions to apply Lime where needed on some of his land. This will raise the pH of the soil and release valuable phosphorus & potassium- all in all improving soil fertility 👍✅ #soilfertility #lime

K is vital for overall grass growth. Farmers - take a look at your soil samples now... and plan a strategy to spread K on your farm this Autumn!👍

Last day for spreading nitrogen & phosphorus fertiliser is fast approaching. This deadline only applies to 2 of the big 3 fertiliser nutrients. Potassium (K) or potash is a significant nutrient in grassland systems but is all too often forgotten about. bit.ly/2RbkgzE

One of the popular myths presented this time of year, is that proofs of young GS AI bulls don’t stack up & as a result, farmers would be better to stick to using daughter proven or even stock bulls when breeding dairy female replacements. #DataDrivenFacts icbf.com/wp/?p=15765

There’s no better job than grass measuring when the sun shines ☀️ There’s a lot of better jobs when it doesn’t! You can see the grass growing today! 🌱 Soil temperature 11 degrees in Enniskeane. Farms need to start walking weekly! Growth at the moment 20-30 kgs/day and rising 🚀

Milk recording reports contain significant quantities of information but the usage of this information at farm level is low. Better use of milk recording reports combined with @HerdPlus Sire Advice has the potential to assist in improving genetic gain. ow.ly/4bIF50vjMWh
