Reflecting on the year so far with Garett Browne, a min-till farmer in Wexford

Garett Browne, along with his brother Mark, farms just outside Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford. On the latest Tillage Edge podcast, Garett discusses the highs and lows of 2023 so far, as well as reflecting on his establishment system successes and challenges.

Garett runs a min-till and strip-till establishment system across a range of crops and is very happy with both systems. However, Garett says that each system throws up their challenges each year.

The spring barley on the farm is not looking promising for harvest. Crops are thin and short and Garrett says that despite excellent establishment, the rain didn’t come in time and the crops suffered. Garett is happy with the winter crops and feels there is plenty of potential in these.
