Soil management on Don Somers’ farm

In the first of a three part series on the Tillage Edge podcast, Michael Hennessy chats to Dr David Wall, a researcher in Teagasc, about the soils on Don Somers’ farm.

Don hosted a recent Signpost farm walk and both Michael and David discuss the best way to manage soils for fertility, carbon storage and high yields.

At the same event, Pat Power, a tillage advisor in Wexford, discusses straw incorporation, its benefits to soil but also how best to deal with straw volumes after harvest.
