Teagasc’s National Tillage Conference takes place next Thursday, 28 January, at the Lyrath Hotel in Kilkenny. This is an important date in the tillage calendar and, not surprisingly, greening compliance is an important item on the agenda.
The morning session will have Paud Evans give the details on greening. Kildare Teagasc adviser, Ivan Whitten, will give his practical approach to dealing with the on-farm changes required for greening. And Richie Hackett will present a paper on the role of cover crops in cereal production.
One of the afternoon presentations will discuss the agronomy of break crops and the new break crop research programme initiated by IFA through grain levy funding.

Disease resistance concerns remain and Steven Kildea will provide the update from 2014. The final paper of the day is the Spring Barley Guide, which should form the basis of all spring barley husbandry.
