The wet and cold spring in Ireland was mirrored in the US according to Brian Caldbeck, a Laois man, who is farming and running a seeds business in Kentucky, USA, and joins Michael on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast.
Brian says the late planting into poor seedbed conditions will result in small roots which leave crops more exposed to drought and heat stresses. Although the risks are greater it all comes down to the weather in July.
Brian also chats about the US farm insurance schemes which most farmers participate in and he explains that these policies are necessary for farmers who rely on bank credit from year to year.
