On this week’s tillage podcast we’re focusing on varieties. We chatted to the Department’s Séamus Kearney at the Irish Seed Trade Open Day held at the Department of Agriculture’s Farm in Ballyderowan, Co Cork. Séamus talks all things winter and spring barley.
We also caught up with Dirk Hamke of Beun Seed. Breun are responsible for varieties like the famous JB Diego winter wheat and Gretchen spring barley. They had some good spring barley varieties in the trials at the seed trade open day to watch out for as well.
