It’s been a while since we shamed a thief…. This guy is worthy enough to make the wall of shame. Another one to add to Irelands dumbest egg criminals🦹 #dunnesfarmeggthief #eggthief #maynooth

On Christmas Eve, 1988, a group of German criminals took hostages at an L.A. office party. The making of story behind DIE HARD is bigger than the Nakatomi… 1/43

Weed-crop competition refers to the interaction between weeds and crops for essential resources such as sunlight, nutrients, and water. Different weed species have varying levels of competitiveness, and thus yield impacts, which have been summarised in the table below 👇

Brome species identification is important as this can affect post-harvest cultivation decisions....

It's the shortest day. At this time of year, it's easy to forget about the buzzing bees of summer But they're still here, tucked away & waiting for spring So get cosy, grab a hot mug of something, and find out where pollinators go in the winter bit.ly/3G3NRFy

A little leaflet we put together for people wanting to move away from using rat poison rodenticide /wildlife poison. Its a little more work, but once you work with nature and encourage the predators, they will do the job for you. @farmersjournal @BeechlawnFarm @RoisinCure

I see both growers loosing out here, self sufficiency in food in Ireland is going down and yet this is common retailer practice, fresh food across the board is affected

The next time you hear someone glibly saying ‘Irish Farmers should just diversify’ from extensive grass based production. Take a look at this ad from Lidl today. In the midst of a food inflation crisis- which do you honestly think ordinary families would rationally choose? 🤔

A simple flushing bar ahead of the hay mower can help prevent wildlife injuries. This is just 1” pvc. On 11 acres I flushed 2 hen pheasants & 3 whitetail fawns. Nobody hurt! @pheasants4ever @MNDeerHunters
