Planting progress of winter cereals has been slow in most places and at a virtual stop in others and on the latest Tillage Edge podcast, Ciaran Collins and Shay Phelan, both tillage specialists in Teagasc, chat through the current progress and what actions farmers can take as the year closes in.

Ciaran said the recent floods in Cork have been difficult to cope with and recently planted cereals will suffer as a result. 

Both Ciaran and Shay agreed there is a substantial area of cereals yet to be planted, with farmers in the northern half of the country more advanced than those in the south.
