Here at the Irish Farmers Journal, we have been inundated with entries for the 2021 silage photo competition over the past few weeks.
It has not been easy, but the team is working very hard to select a winner, which will be announced in our paper on Thursday.
We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter a photo into our competition, in association with Gouldings Fertilisers.
