Athenry,
Co Galway
There hasn’t been much rain in Galway over the past two weeks, explains Michael. However, conditions up until then had been very broken. During the month of May, over 100mm of rain fell on his farm. The kinder weather has been beneficial for crops and Michael hopes to make his first cut of silage this week.
