Our Farming Year – Kehoe Farming, Wexford

At Kehoe Farming, work continues all year round, shaped by the Irish weather and the rich soils of South Wexford near Foulksmills.


🌱 Spring – Preparing for Growth

Spring is a crucial time on the farm. As the days grow longer, we prepare the land for the growing season.

  • Ploughing & Cultivating stubbles
  • Fertilising meadows
  • Preparing seedbeds

Timing is key—we work quickly during dry weather windows.


☀️ Early Summer – Growth & Grass Harvest

The main event of early summer is haylage and silage production.

  • First cut of grass
  • Correct moisture levels
  • High-quality horse feed production

Modern machinery helps, but weather still controls everything.
