Last week, we visited From the Tramlines farmer Paul O’Connell. Paul farms in Ballybrittas on the Laois/Kildare border.

Paul was busy applying 320kg N/ha on his winter barley this week.

So far, the crop has received 500kg/ha of 16:2.5:17 + S across two splits.

The crop also received an application of 0:10:20, which was incorporated into the seedbed in the autumn.

After a cold March, crops are at a normal growth stage for the time of year.
