The Tillage Edge

Everyone in the industry is asking how tillage can remain competitive into the future. Poor yields are often blamed on the weather, but other factors such as rotations, soil management, and fertiliser can play a big role.

Shay Phelan and Ciaran Collins, Teagasc tillage specialists, join the show to discuss the upcoming Teagasc National Crops Forum and the practical steps farmers can take to protect margins. 

Ciaran highlights that tweaking rotations and using organic manures can make a significant difference, with many growers reporting higher yields where these practices are adopted.
