Last weekend, we paid a visit to Donegal From the Tramlines farmer David Moody.
Crops have been progressing steadily on his farm since we last spoke with him.
David explains how recent moisture has helped push on his crop on despite cool temperatures lately.
Malting barley
David is growing spring malting barley for the first time.
He explains that the crop appears to have benefitted from the front loading of nitrogen at an early stage.
He hasn’t applied an aphicide and hasn’t in many years.
“Aphids don’t get the same chance up here and they’re not our biggest concern,” he explains.
Spring wheat
His spring wheat has emerged well, with high establishment.
The crop is due 60kg N/ha this week. He uses Sulfa CAN and the crop will be brought up to 140kg N/ha.
