Farmers are invited to a Teagasc webinar, next Tuesday, May 5, focused on preparing for the 2026 silage season.
Starting at 8pm, the Gearing up for Silage 2026 webinar will be chaired by Deirbhile Brown, Teagasc Kerry/Limerick Advisor, who’ll be joined live in the studio by David Argue, Teagasc Beef Specialist; Dr Peter Doyle, Teagasc Researcher; Dave Davies of Silage Solutions Ltd UK; and Bernard Ging, a dairy farmer from Portlaoise.
Taking place before machines start to roll, the webinar will focus on silage costs in 2026, the effects on yield and quality of varying the first-cut date, target silage quality for dairy and beef systems, along with key advice on fertiliser applications for second cuts.
