Farm Conversations: "Tillage Is Under Severe Pressure"

In this episode of Agriland’s new podcast series we’re heading to Broadway in Co. Wexford to meet tillage farmer Nicky Keane.

In the Farm Conversations: Why CAP Matters podcast Nicky, who grows a range of cereals on his farm, shares his thoughts on some of the challenges facing the tillage sector and the important role tillage farming plays in the environment.

He tell us that tillage is under severe pressure and that he believes the quality of Irish-grown grain deserves much greater recognition than it currently gets.

In this podcast series we've been finding out exactly what Irish farmers believe are the crucial issues when it comes to CAP.

Nicky talks us through the CAP supports he has availed of, including ACRES and the EIPs, and how these schemes fit into his farming system.
