How this Wexford farmer is getting the best from precision machinery

The third of a three part series from a recent Signpost farm walk on Don Somers’ farm in Wexford, Michael Hennessy chats to Don Somers & Dermot Forristal, a machinery researcher in Teagasc, about how he utilises the information from the combine yield monitor to inform agronomic decisions each year.

Don outlines how he aligns the yield maps to better target soil sampling and then applies the precise nutrients load to each area. 

Dermot Forristal expands on the capacity of machinery to record this data and also around the set up to maximise information flow.
