Many growers made good progress with spring sowing before the return of broken weather again this week. We recently paid a visit to Cork Tramline farmer Rob Coleman, who was planting beans in excellent ground conditions. Rob was sowing Fanfare and, for the first time, Lynx. He was sowing the crops with a new John Deere 750A no-till drill aiming for minimal disturbance. The overall aim of the farm is to progress from a min-till establishment system to a no-till system.
