Ordinarily, the winner of the Grassland Farmer of The Year competition hosts an open day in late April.
The event is timed to coincide with the end of calving and before breeding and is at a time of the year when grassland management is critical, so visitors see at first-hand how the best farmers manage grass at the trickiest time of year.
Unfortunately, with COVID-19, that’s not possible this year, nor indeed was it possible last year.
Virtual event
To make up for it, Teagasc is organising a virtual event on the farm of Grassland Farmer of the Year 2020 Caroline Walsh on Wednesday 21 April.

New regulations for farm roadways and waters came into effect last month on January 1, 2021 – but what does this mean for Irish farmers?
Mark Treacy, a Teagasc dairy advisor based in Clonakilty, provided an explainer for farmers as to what has changed.
“The new measures aim to further reduce Irish farming’s environmental footprint, with particular regard to water, climate and air quality,” Treacy said.
New on-farm measures aimed at further reducing Irish farming’s environmental footprint, with particular regard to water, climate and air quality, were signed into law by the government on November 20.
This, the advisor explained, introduced many new on-farm requirements, with effect from January 1, 2021. These on-farm requirements will vary from farm to farm depending on the farms stocking rate in the previous calendar year.
