In the past week or so the Government s
Agri-Food Strategy 2030 called for 10% of utilised agricultural area to be dedicated to biodiversity so it’s an appropriate time to speak to tillage farmer Ger O’Meara who has 10 different crops growing on his farm near Cahir, Co Tipperary.
So far Arable April has highlighted the many positives of the tillage sector in Ireland and implementing a good crop rotation is just one of the many measures the O’Mearas take to make the family farm more sustainable.
Variety
Among the crops on the O Meara farm are winter rape, winter rye, winter barley, winter oats, winter wheat, spring beans, spring barley, spring oats, fodder beet and grass.
