In the second of a three part series from a Signpost farm walk on Don Somers’ farm in Wexford, Michael Hennessy chats to Martin Bourke, a Teagasc Advisor, about getting the best from organic manures and how Don Somers has utilised this resource to build soil fertility on his farm. 

Ciaran Hickey, a Teagasc tillage advisor, also presenting at the event, told the Tillage Edge podcast that cover crops are a valuable part of soil management on Don’s farm.  He also expanded on how Don’s use of cover crops has evolved over time.
