Livestock farmers should not wait to be asked to carry out a national inventory. Advisors warn they should take urgent action this week to conduct their own on-farm inventories to establish how they will be set for the winter, before time runs out to sow fertiliser and increase spring yields.

The Irish Farmers’ Association has been calling for a national fodder survey, however, Teagasc Dairy Advisor Adrian O’Callaghan has told farmers not to wait for Government instruction.
