Challenges Facing the Tillage Industry: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Shay Phelan:
GPS technology is a key benefit farmers can avail of when they apply for TAMS. It generates a lot of live data for tillage farmers. As Dr. O'Reilly has rightly said, tillage farmers are probably the most forward-thinking farmers in the use of data and technology for sustainability. A project we are starting up is to use slurry from the dairy and pig sectors on tillage crops in the spring. This takes a lot of technology. It ticks a lot of boxes for sustainability and fertiliser requirements.
