Tillage specialists are confirming that the opportunity to get viable crops of spring beans, wheat, and oats into the ground is fast reducing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Teagasc\u2019s head of Crops Knowledge Transfer, Michael Hennessy, the yield potential of crops such as spring beans, wheat and oats is very dependent on planting date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd this is very much the case, once we get into April. Spring barley is much more flexible in this regard,” he told Agriland<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is more than feasible to plant barley crops through until the end of this month and still expect a decent harvest yield. This assumes that growing conditions remain acceptable throughout the season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n
