Waterford farmer, Bill Shanahan, on the benefits of his non-plough based tillage system

Continuing a series of interviews with tillage farmers who are involved with the various programmes in Teagasc, on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, Michael Hennessy finds out more about the Enable Conservation Tillage Project.

The Enable Conservation Tillage Project enables farmers to embrace non-plough based tillage systems whilst at the same time cope with grass weeds that can emerge.

Bill Shanahan, a farmer from Waterford, and his Teagasc ECT Project advisor, John Mahon, join Michael to discuss Bill’s experiences so far.
