Lack of rain set to impact winter animal feed levels
The President of the Manx National Farmers Union says the current dry weather could 'change the face of Manx agriculture'.
A lack of growth in grass and crops has raised fears of a shortage of food for livestock in the months to come, potentially leaving farmers with the additional cost of importing feed.

Brian Brumby says the situation could see some farmers weighing up their options:
