Michael O'Brien in Co Kildare
Michael O'Brien (left) is a tillage farmer from Ardmore, Athy, Co Kildare. Having previously harvested his crop of winter barley, Mihael has now begun started a hybrid fodder crop of redstart rape and kale. He has decided to plant the crop on account of the lack of fodder which has led to the rise in fodder prices. After harvesting the winter barley, Michael disked the field, sowed the crop with a direct drill and then rolled it all in. Also pictured here with Michael in his neighbour Stephen King, who has just recently set up a new dairy enterprise, after making the move from suckler farming. \ Philip Doyle
