In Part 1 of the series, Michael Hennessy chats to Ciaran Collins, a Tillage Specialist in Teagasc, about the profitability of beans in 2023 and how to grow a high yielding crop.

Where planting is concerned, Ciaran said farmers should check seed TGW before planting as these can vary widely between seed lots.
