Soil management on Don Somers’ farm

In the first of a three part series on the Tillage Edge podcast, at a recent Signpost farm walk on Don Somers’ farm in Wexford, Michael Hennessy chats to Dr David Wall, a researcher in Teagasc, about the soils on Don’s farm and the best way to manage these soils for fertility, carbon storage and high yield.  At the same event Pat Power, a tillage advisor in Wexford, discusses straw incorporation, its benefits to soil but also how best to deal with straw volumes after harvest. For more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:
