Based in Clonegal, straddling the Wexford, Wicklow and Carlow borders, Michael Redmond works full time with ESB Networks.
Outside of this, he farms 200 acres of tillage in a min-till based system alongside his father, Michael Redmond senior. The duo are also responsible for the Irish distribution of Agro-Tom machinery.
The Redmonds are focused on min-till tillage farming, and the machines they are bringing to Ireland from the Agro-Tom range reflect that philosophy.
Having trialled min-till for some years, and weighed the yield for comparison, Michael Redmond became was happy that he could reduce his workload and retire the plough without compromising on yield or the quality of his work.
Tillage operation
The family were using a second-hand cultivator when trialling min-till, but once they decided to fully commit to min-till, the Redmond’s were looking for a new machine to underpin its tillage operation. They explained that they found the cost of new well-known European machinery brands to be prohibitive.
Looking further afield, they came across Agro-Tom. A factory visit followed, and not only did they become the Polish company’s first Irish customer, they later decided to become the Irish distributor for Agro-Tom as well.
