The Teagasc crops research farm in Oak Park, Carlow, is in the middle of the harvest and Brendan Burke, the farm manager, joins the Tillage Edge this week to chat about the highs and lows of the harvest so far.
Brendan explains that the winter barley and winter oats yields have been reasonable so far.
The farm also sells straw to regular customers but there was little interest in oaten straw and this was chopped as part of the Straw Incorporation Scheme.
Cover crops are used extensively across the farms with the go to mix of phacelia and vetch.
