The recent National Tillage Conference was a slightly different format in that it highlighted a number of current issues on tillage farms as well as the usual research updates that are coming out of Oak Park.

The workshop sessions in the afternoon were well attended and facilitated good interaction between the audience and the respective panels, which consisted of farmers, industry experts and Teagasc staff.
