The 2017 National Ploughing Championships have come and gone but the memories will last a lifetime.
If you watch one video today, make sure it's this beautiful video montage by cinematographer Peter Martin.
The 2017 Championships were jam-packed with incredible farming feats, entertainment, live musical performances, RTÉ Weather Wannabes, RTÉ Guide cover stars, endless selfies with Marty Morrissey and plenty of ploughing.
We saw the RTÉ Radio 1 and 2fm presenters on their A game as they interviewed everyone from President Michael D Higgins to Vogue Williams to Jamie Heaslip and introduced live performances from Hudson Taylor, Derek Ryan, Mary Coughlan and again...Jamie Heaslip.
