Teagasc says variation in grass growth and feed supply due to weather conditions is inevitable in some Irish farming systems.
The Irish Examiner reports that "A prolonged period of adverse weather will test the resilience of the whole farm system."
Teagasc has identified steps to be taken at farm and industry level in this regard, including building an appropriate rolling reserve into farm fodder plans; increasing feed storage capacity on farms and promoting grass measurement and feed budgeting.
John Spink is Teagasc Head of Tillage and Crops.
