Despite reports of poor weather in parts of Europe, Tim Bergin, a Dubliner who is farming in Poland and is on this week’s Tillage Edge podcast, says his crops are excellent and he is hopeful for a good harvest.
However, Tim does outline the very poor conditions experienced over the autumn last year and the lengths needed to harvest potatoes on his farm.
The soils on Tim’s farm are clay loam over sand and, if treated right, will drain well, even after heavy rain.
All straw is chopped and incorporated back into the soil and Tim is confident he is building soil carbon each year and improving his soils.
