Cover crops and cashflow – Jim McCarthy on farming in Romania

Jim McCarthy, who is farming a large tract of land in Romania, joins this week’s Tillage Edge to talk about the progress on his farm over the past few months.

Jim talks about the change in establishment system and how this is helping maintain yields by trapping more moisture and allowing him to reduce fertiliser inputs. However, Jim remains cautious about the outlook for prices and expresses concern about overall costs rising and eroding profitability of the sector.
