A Teagasc survey has found one in five farmers are still short of fodder supplies for the winter, despite the good weather experienced this summer.
The survey conducted from 1 September indicates there are adequate fodder stocks in the country for a long winter season.
However, one fifth of farmers are short an average of 19% of what they will need.
A similar survey by Teagasc in July showed two thirds of farmers were short on winter fodder supplies.
