b"This week\\u2019s Tillage Edge podcast continues the series looking at farmers who are working closely with Teagasc in the Signpost Farms programme and other initiatives. \\n\\nDon Somers, a farmer in Wexford, and his advisor John Pettit, joined Michael Hennessy to discuss Don\\u2019s farm practice. \\n\\nDon has costed out various fertiliser practices and has identified that changing to protected urea on winter crops will return savings of close to \\u20ac39/ha or close to \\u20ac3,000 over the farm.\\n\\nHe is running a min-till establishment system for the past few years and has worked hard to build fertility over the last 8-9 years. \\n\\nDon has a very good handle on his soil's fertility and yields coming from the fields as he will use yield mapping data to feed into fertiliser prescription maps. \\n\\nFor more episodes and information from the Tillage Edge podcast go to:\\nhttps://www.teagasc.ie/crops/crops/the-tillage-edge-podcast/\\n\\nProduced on behalf of Teagasc by LastCastMedia.com"
