Teagasc will host an open day to demonstrate farming methods for a better future at its Environment Research Centre, Johnstown Castle, Co. Wexford on 30 August, 2022, at 10am.
The event will feature technologies and practices that can help maintain farm productivity and profitability while increasing overall environmental sustainability.
The programme will cover grass clover and multispecies swards, fertiliser and slurry technologies, biodiversity and water quality, dairy and dairy-beef systems.
Teagasc advisory services will be on hand to discuss how the new agri-environmental scheme, organic farming scheme, or forestry scheme may help support farming for a better future. The next generation of farmers can also find out what education and training opportunities are on offer.
See the latest relevant machinery to help farmers reduce their reliance on artificial nitrogen fertiliser. Teagasc, in partnership with the Irish Farmers Journal, will lead demonstrations of the latest low emission slurry spreading equipment, methods and machinery for over-sowing clover into existing grass swards and the steps to calibrate fertiliser spreaders to accurately apply protected urea and other products.
The event is free to attend, but booking is recommended. The venue will open at 10am and close at 4pm.
