Applying slurry to growing tillage crops on the Kepak farms

A recent Signpost farm event on the Kepak farm in Dunboyne, Co Meath focused on the use of slurry on their tillage farm. On this episode of the Tillage Edge we discuss utilising slurry on a tillage farm.

Sam Myles, the farm manager, Veronica Nyhan, a soil nutrition specialist, and John Mahon, Signpost Farm advisor, all joined Michael Hennessy on the Tillage Edge to discuss utilising slurry on a tillage farm.

Sam Myles explains that the farm produces enough slurry to cover 1,000 acres at 3,000 gallons per acre.  He says the shift to applying slurries to the growing tillage crop has been very successful and substantial savings are being made on chemical fertiliser.
