One of our agronomy team out today taking clippings of Sterile Brome to send for Resistance Testing
Brome has become a problem on farms over the past decade & by testing this brome that survived herbicide treatment we will get an insight into what happens next & what crop to sow

It's #FarmSafetyWeek, and we're really grateful to Nick Dunican for sharing his story of a near-death experience. We urge farmers to be safety-conscious and protect everyone on the farm throughout the year. So, take the time. Stay alert. Stay safe.
🚜 “Five seconds changed everything.”
South Cork farmer and contractor Nick Dunican shares his powerful Farm Safety Week story after a routine harvest job turned into a life-threatening combine accident.
In those terrifying moments, Nick thought about his wife, his two sons, and the impact that a farm accident could have on his family. Thankfully, he walked away-but his message is one every farmer should hear:
⚠️ Slow down.
⚠️ Take your time.
⚠️ No job is worth risking your life.
Farm safety is about protecting ourselves, our families, and our communities. ❤️

A really great evening in @DrummondsAgri trial site, where they displayed trials on varieties, seeding rate and a weed screening plot. Kubik wheat and the 100 day barley are ones to watch !
