Input prices have skyrocketed but at the same time the value of outputs have also increased. The value of chemical P and K has doubled, therefore the value of the P and K in straw has also doubled.
On the latest Tillage Edge podcast, Mark Plunkett and Dermot Forristal from Teagasc, discuss the value of straw and how best to incorporate straw this year.
Dermot also chats about the best techniques to incorporate straw and where a tine cultivator can work better than disc cultivators. He says that one of the most important things is to ensure straw is spread evenly across the full width of the header.
