IFA point to difficult harvest, as yields have remained very variable

Barley, oats, tonnage down but the real hit is on wheat this year

It has been a difficult year for harvesting crops but hope remains high that the total Irish main cereal harvest will come in somewhere between 1.9 and 1.95 million tonnes.

After a very difficult harvest there are pockets of spring crops still to be finished along with most of the beans.

Yields have remained very variable.
