As spring moves into peak planting season, the ideal window for establishing several crops is closing quickly. 

Conor Kavanagh, a tillage advisor from Tipperary, and Eoin Lyons, a tillage advisor from Laois, join the podcast to discuss spring planting progress in their respective areas and outline priorities for the coming week.

Eoin notes that good progress has been made across all crops, although a significant proportion of spring barley remains to be sown. 

Conor adds that approximately 15–20% of beans are still to be planted, and growers will be prioritising these in the week ahead.
