The Crops Open Day, which is held every two years, brings the Oak Park Crop Research Programme to the public, supported by Researchers, PhD students and Advisors and on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Dr. Ewen Mullins, Head of Crops Research, and Dermot Forristal, a researcher in crops and mechanisation, join Michael Hennessy to preview the event which takes place on Wednesday, June 21st.

We are again adopting ‘the event within an event’ style which incorporates a mechanisation related theme, in conjunction with the Irish Farmers Journal, which this year deals with stubble cultivation and crop establishment.

This year there are four elements delivered across five demo areas:

1.     Oak Park research programme.

2.     Stubble cultivation and Cover crop establishment machinery demo (with IFJ)

3.     Mechanical weed control in Horticultural crops (with IFJ)

4.     Support stands

The Teagasc Crops Research Open Day takes place on Wednesday, June 21st.
