Richie White with presenter Helen Carroll
It has been an extraordinarily busy Autumn for contractors as farmers try and harvest as much fodder as possible for the coming winter. After a couple of months where no silage was saved due to the drought, Richie White and his team in Slievenamon Agri Services in Drangan, Co.Tipperary, are busy cutting silage and maize, baling and wrapping, hedge cutting and filling silage pits. Helen Carroll from Ear to the Ground joined Slievenamon Agri Services in Drangan as the harvesters and trailers kept moving. She also spoke to local farmers on how they are have adapted to the change in demands for crops to see them through the winter months.
