Teagasc: Flood damage will be apparent up to harvest

Flooding in fields is evident across some of the country’s tillage areas, although rainfall has been higher in other parts, according to Teagasc.

It has reported that over 40% of annual rainfall was recorded in Oak Park, Carlow, during the month of December.

Teagasc is predicting the impact of flooded fields on cereal crops will be apparent up to next harvest.
