Weekend gallery: Ballyjamesduff Mart and potato harvesting
This week, our photographers attended the weanlings sale at Ballyjamesduff Mart, saw some potato harvesting in Meath and followed an organic farm walk in Co Sligo.
Anthony, Kevin, Pader, Peter and Joe Whyte digging potatoes at Kiltale, Co Meat,h using a Grimme harvester. With the good weather they have been experiencing, they will be finished harvesting potatoes well before November, which they say is unusual for this time of year.
