EP 1026: The Tillage Podcast: Harsher weather hitting Cork crops
•
On this week’s Tillage Podcast we’re joined by Tim Looby, an agronomist with McDonnell Bros based in Co Cork. Tim chats about what’s happening in the fields at the minute and gives a run down on crop condition, growth stages and disease levels.
Niamh Murphy attended a Teagasc Signpost Walk on Gavin Tully’s farm recently and we hear how he manages an organic farm.
As always we take a look at this week’s paper and have the grain market and weather reports.
