@ArableSam Would be a good idea. That was the reason for going with the oats even though late in the year

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

Spring oats direct drilled into grass. Took a long time for soil to dry out enough to drill but is moving now after the last few days of growth

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

@ArableSam New land to me so not sure just how long in grass but probably 30+ years. No lime required and no fert in the slot

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

@makesoilgreat 2 weeks before drilling

[Samuel Deane @ArableSam]

For livestock farmers looking at cereals production in Ireland as an alternative enterprise. This is a very cost effective way to get into it. #conservationag

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

Assessing and sampling cover crop demo plots on @johncrowleyjc farm as part of the @TeagascSignpost program. Samples sent to be nitrogen tested to estimate N content of various crops

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

@ArableSam @TomTierney18 @bobbymiller73 @TeagascSignpost Yeah absolutely

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

First year direct drill in this field with winter barley after beans drilled on October 1st

[Eoin Lyons @eoinlyons21]

@ArableSam @TomTierney18 @bobbymiller73 Bean cover crops on @TeagascSignpost tillage demo farms were N tested last year. Showed on average 60 kg/N/ha being captured over winter. Question is how much of that N will be available for the growing/following crop
