Ep 1017: The Tillage Podcast -Walking crops from Ardee to Illinois
•
On this week’s show we report from the US where we’re seeing plenty of corn and soybeans being planted and emerging. Editor Jack Kennedy and dairy editor Aidan Brennan join us to talk about what we’re seeing and have updates from visits to Archer Daniels Midland Company and Bayer Crop Science.
Back at home we visited Ronan Lynch at Deeside Agri Services in Co Louth last week. We walked crops with Ronan on Thursday, 22 May and give a run down on where crops are at and what’s looking good and where the issues are.
We give you the US take on grain markets and discuss sustainability and renewables.
