Farmers have been delighted with the dry conditions as it allows them to reap the benefits in real terms.But has the ground become too dry now to allow for new growth?

Stevan Patterson, a farmer from Castlederg in County Tyrone, said farmers in the area had "enough rain on Monday 12th May, one of the few rainy days so far in May, to keep the ground moist enough for growing"."Arable farmers who have planted crops would otherwise be getting worried particularly if no rain comes by the end of this week," he added.In County Down, farmers have been making the most of the good weather and are well ahead with work. Lots of grass has been cut and is in for silage.

Cattle have been out in the fields earlier this spring compared to last year.However, Samuel Glover, who owns a farm in Saintfield, County Down, said cereal and vegetable growers will soon need rain.

"Over the last few days, though, the ground is starting to brown in places and some rain would be welcome. Farmers would also like some rain to get fertiliser sown and slurry spread for second cuts."Co-researcher, Dr Daniel Casali, of The University of São Paulo, Brazil, added: " We can conserve the ones that are alive but unfortunately we lost something that is not possible to replace."
