Join us on Wednesday, 9th July at 11am for a Growing Organics Tillage Farm Walk on the farm of Tommy Delahunt, Ballinaclogh, Co. Wicklow, A67 T660.
Tommy Delahunt is farming 31ha of organic tillage land in Wicklow and growing a range of winter and spring cereals, pea/bean intercrops and barley/pea intercrops along with multispecies grass swards.
This farm walk will explore intercropping protein crops (beans/peas) and barley/peas, comparing high vs. low seeding rates for oats. It will also examine the benefits of winter vs. spring oats for weed control. As Tommy grows some crops under contract, the walk will include a look at grain handling and crop value for the organic feed market.
Teagasc Advisors, DAFM representatives, the Organic Certification Bodies and of course Tommy himself will all be available on the day to answer questions and give guidance.
