MNFU hopes to hold talks with DEFA
Production at some farms in the north of the Isle of Man is becoming harder due to the soil being too dry.
It's due to one of the driest and hottest summers on the Island.
Families were able to go to the beach, park or attend social gatherings all while basking in the sun.
But for some farmers on the Island, the hot weather has caused some production to slow down.
Last week, Aalin Dairy, a private family-run farm in Sulby, posted about the issues it's been facing.
Manx Radio has contacted the farm for an interview, but it has declined.
WEATHER
According to Ronaldsway Met Office this summer was the warmest on record.
Despite a blip over TT, June, July and August had consistently warm temperatures and below average rainfall.
It also follows from the warmest and sunniest spring on record here.
The mean daily high was 18.8 degrees Celsius and the highest temperature was 26.7 degrees.
In terms of rainfall, summer got off to a poor start, totalling 83.8mm in June.
However, in July it halved to 40.5mm and then again to 23.3mm in August.
But how exactly does the weather impact on farming?
General Secretary of the Manx Farmers Union Sarah Comish says issues faced by farmers would vary.
She says, however, the lack of rainfall has especially affected the north of the Island, which doesn't retain water as well as the south:
