On this week’s Tillage Podcast, we have details of the Irish Farmers Journal grain price survey and all the latest news.

We attended a Teagasc crop walk on Wednesday and chatted to Shay Phelan from Teagasc and David Cooney from Bayer on fieldwork.

As always, we have the grain market and weather reports.
