Planning for 2024 harvest has begun on many farms and farmers should bear in mind the crop diversification rule, or three crop rule, is in force for 2024. Shay Phelan and Ciaran Collins, Tillage Specialists in Teagasc, are on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to explain more. Ciaran says that the three crop rule is similar to other years and growers should ensure they get the percentage of each crop correct. Meanwhile, Shay gives an update on the new rule around crop rotation at parcel level. Shay says that each parcel must have a different crop in a parcel every four years, so long term continuous cereals is difficult. A date for your diary is the Crops Forum on Friday September 8th in the Kilashee Hotel Naas, and for more details click here:http://bitly.ws/S6oo For more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:
