Almost that time of year again!!!

Variable Rate Nitrogen mapping helps to reduce Nitrogen use and allows the grower to place the fertiliser in the areas it is most needed.

@PeadarWhyte @BWdrones @GrowersGrain @TeagascCrops @Frankglynn4 Serious potential to save a lot of leg work and wasted nitrogen!

I may have had to shelter by a rock for 15 minutes whilst a hail storm passed today. But it was worth every stinging hit on the face to be greeted by this view as the shower cleared over Binnian. Mammatus clouds: the most dramatic scene I've ever witnessed up the Mournes!

Good news for tillage farmers as the Department of Agriculture confirms that they're will be an exemption available, in specified circumstances, to the three-crop rule in 2020 🌾

Just a thought on #Veganuary

I understand, and agree with the idea of cutting down on the amount of meat we consume.

But #Veganuary is, simply put, the dumbest way to do it.

Beans companion in winter OSR are starting to look a bit frozen off. So far from visual inspection the most and largest OSR plants are to be found in this plot compared to other companions where buckwheat is a total fail with no OSR and buckwheat disappeared months ago.

The DAFM are confident of the funding for 2020.

Beans are a good financial option for next year

Interesting to note that the @MetEireann months stats show Dublin Airport much wetter than Shannon so far this month with 141.9mm of rain up to yesterday. Shannon meanwhile had 89.7mm, not often the East has more but it was the same last year!
