Catching up with a trial growing lupins

This week, we catch up again with tillage and beef farmer Derek Kelly. Derek is running a trial growing lupins – a potentially important protein crop for the Irish organic market. Ground conditions have delayed planting but Derek explains how he got them eventually into the ground.

He speaks about varieties, ground preparation, seeding rates, and mitigating weed burden as well as touching on his experience with other crops on the farm and his finishing cattle.
