Description

A year ago, many farmers faced significant challenges due to the unusually wet weather, which disrupted their crop rotations. 

 

For this week’s Tillage Edge, John Pettit, a Teagasc tillage advisor from South Wexford, shares his insights into how farmers are adapting their crop rotations to suit both their land and the local markets.

 

John explains that there may be more than one rotation on a farm to account for variations in soil, whether lighter or heavier. 

 

He also emphasises the importance of calculating financial margins on the farm to make more informed decisions.
