Kilkenny farmer Kevin O’Donnell joins Michael Hennessy on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast to explain how he is getting the best from organic manures on his tillage operation.  

Kevin has been using manures for a number of years and is in the process of constructing a large over-ground slurry store.

Before importing slurries, Kevin’s advisor produced a Nutrient Management Plan so that Kevin could have confidence in the quantities of manures which can be imported each year.  

Kevin says he will use the slurries to build background levels of P and K as well as contributing to current yields.
