The grain harvest in the United States has a significant impact on global markets - and directly influences harvest prices here in Ireland.

So, for this week’s Tillage Edge, Brian Caldbeck, an Irishman running a seed business in Kentucky, returns to the show to discuss how US farmers are faring this season.

Brian explains that farmers in the Kentucky area are currently facing very wet conditions, which are delaying the completion of planting. 

However, he notes that overall plantings across the US are only slightly behind the seasonal average.
