While Day One of the 2018 National Ploughing Championships saw Tubridy meet his biggest fan and Day 2 saw Marty Whelan broadcast live from a makeshift studio in Tullamore, Day 3 got things back on track thanks to the hard work of the organisers.
Now, on Day 4 of our time in Tullamore, we're looking at some of the best reactions and observations of #Ploughing18 on Twitter.
City v Country
Love how the media treat #Ploughing18 like Dublin Zoo for culchies

Presenter: Oh he's so cute! What is he eating?
Farmer: That's my son and it's a breakfast roll
Presenter: 'Breakfast' roll! That's so cute. Does he bite?
