Stubble cultivation

Last week, at a press event in Austria, Pöttinger expanded its range of tillage products by unveiling its new 6m Plano stubble cultivator, a complete new offering from the brand.

The main block of cereal harvesting is expected to take place in the coming days if weather allows.

As farmers continue to harvest across the country, here is a reminder of stubble cultivation rules under nitrates.

Skylarks are commonly found in cereal fields in stubble over the winter, but farmer and birdwatcher Paul Moore has found them in growing crops.

There looks to be some good weather on the way for the harvest. Farmers who have been unable to cut will be glad to see a dry spell.
