BETTER farm profits higher

With national statistics showing that 86% of tillage soils are low in one or more of the major soil nutrients, management of soil was the 2013 emphasis in Teagasc’s BETTER Farm Crops programme.

This programme aims to increase the profitability and sustainability of three commercial tillage farms.

At the Teagasc national tillage conference, Michael Hennessy thanked the three families, the Crowleys in Cork, the O’Donoghues in Meath, and the Williamsons in Wexford.
