The National Ploughing Championships really are all kinds of everything. Dana proved it yesterday when she visited the Fivealley site near Birr and posed with a bull.
It was that kind of day here yesterday, when the National Ploughing Association organisers ran out of tickets for the public after more than 50,000 people arrived at the site.
The attendance, according to Anna May McHugh, the formidable woman who runs this £1 million event, was the highest ever on an opening day.
It was the kind of good-humoured day that one expects from the ploughing crowd which quickly churned the pathways, even those covered by four miles of steel trackways, into brown porridge.
It was the day when Mr Larry Goodman told the media that politicians were looking "for a quick fix". "Nonsense", said the Minister of State for Agriculture, Mr Noel Davern, in response.
Mr Davern went on to express his hope that the Celtic Tiger could become a bullock which could be exported.
Even the farm leaders were in good form. Mr John Donnelly, the IFA president, had hard words to say about the reform of the CAP, but was keeping his eye on the men who are looking for his job.
Mr Donnelly finishes his four-year term at the end of this year and the young lions, Mr Tom Parlon and Mr Michael Slattery, were enthusiastically canvassing all around the site.
They had their work cut out, because at times it was impossible to move on the pathways between the 800 stands which have become the home of the ploughing for these three days.
These championships will be remembered as the ones at which the law went all out to protect the copyright on Elton John's Candle In The Wind.
The Performing Right Society put investigators on site to ensure that no pirated versions of the song were being sold to the farmers.
They will be throwing an eye, too, we were told, at the many country-and-Irish bands which have been churning out their fare in the tented bars on the site since early yesterday.
There were mixed views about that other very important ingredient of the ploughing championships, the traffic.
The traffic operation was hindered by the inability of the Garda helicopter to operate yesterday morning because of the fog.
However, it was flying over the area by evening, and according to the Garda it helped greatly in the huge operation to get cars off the site.
Today there will be more kinds of everything when the visitors will include Prof Mary McAleese; the Minister for Agriculture, Mr Walsh; and the Tanaiste, Ms Harney. Ms Mary Banotti is also expected.
And at the ploughing itself: in near perfect conditions, Charlie Bateman from Cork West came first in the senior event of the day, the Kverneland World Class Challenge.
Ireland's best-known ploughman, Martin Kehoe from Wexford, tied with Norman Wright from Derry for second place in the competition.
