A preview of the 2023 Teagasc Oak Park open day
On this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Dr. Ewen Mullins, Head of Crops Research, and Dermot Forristal, a researcher in crops and mechanisation, join Michael Hennessy to preview Crops and Cover Crop Cultivations 2023.
The crops open day, which is held every two years, brings the Oak Park Crop Research Programme to the public, supported by researchers, PhD students and advisors.
Again, the 'event within an event' style is being adopted, which incorporates a mechanisation related theme, in conjunction with the Irish Farmers Journal, which this year deals with stubble cultivation and crop establishment.
This year there are four elements delivered across five demo areas:
- Oak Park research programme;
- Stubble cultivation and cover crop establishment machinery demo with the Irish Farmers Journal;
- Mechanical weed control in Horticultural crops with the Irish Farmers Journal;
- Support stands.
The Teagasc Crops Research Open Day takes place on Wednesday, June 21st. This is a free event and everyone is welcome. For more details, click here.
