January is a busy month for tillage events as farmers prepare for the season ahead. Planning is essential and these events will provide information on margins, varieties, grain price and different agronomic practices.

Farmers who are part of a Knowledge Transfer group may attend two national events, which can then be used as attendance for two knowledge transfer meetings.

Teagasc Spring Tillage Seminars

The spring seminars will cover: crop planning and margins; spring cereal varieties and sowing rates; crop nutrition to achieve savings; and integrated pest management (IPM).

Attendees are advised to check with their advisor or KT facilitator before the event to ensure that it is an approved KT event.

Quinns Tillage Conference

Quinns of Baltinglass will hold its tillage conference on Thursday, January 17 in Killashee House Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare. This is an approved KT event.

Teagasc National Tillage Conference

The Teagasc National Tillage Conference will be held on Wednesday, January 30 in the Lyrath Estate Hotel, Co. Kilkenny.

This is also an approved KT event.
