From Nike cows to videos of chicks hatching, we've all been getting in on the action with RTÉ One's Big Week on the Farm with the hashtag #OnTheFarm throughout the week.
We're taking this opportunity to show off some of the great work around the country, and show that makes Irish farms so special. Keep sending in your pictures, videos and comments with the hashtag #OnTheFarm!
In no particular order....!
