In this final episode of the season, Agriland editor Stella Meehan speaks to Teagasc DairyBeef 500 Programme advisor, Fergal Maguire about challenges of late in terms of grass growth.

The recent cold weather and dry periods have stifled growth in some areas with concerns mounting about dry matter (DM) levels and quality.

Some farmers who are planning a second cut of silage in the coming weeks will be hoping for some rain to improve grass growth rates.

The AgriFocus podcast series takes a closer look at some of the key issues that directly impact on farmers, rural communities and the agri-sector.
