IOA Field Talk Programme 2019

18 July 2019 By IOA Webmaster

The Irish Organic Association are hosting their annual Field Talk events which begin on July 25th. All events start at 2pm.

July 25th – Organic Cereals – Gavin Tully, Camolin, Co. Wexford, Y21 H2R6.

Winter oats, winter wheat, rye, malting barley, red clover and ryegrass and potatoes. John Faulconbride from Western Seeds will also be present on the day as will Julio Isidro Sanchez, Assistant Professor in Crop Science at UCD who is running naked barley trials on the farm.

August 1st – MOPS Field Talk at Desmond Thorpe’s, Knockroe House, New Ross, Co. Wexford, Y34 RR22 – Open to All 

This Field Talk event will take place on a farm that has been in organic production for over thirty years. The focus will be the field scale vegetable enterprise and organic oats. The farm is also participating in the EIP-Agri project – Maximizing Organic Production Systems (MOPS) and is the location for the Green Manure Trial which is a key aspect of the project. Professor Peter Jones will discuss the design, implementation and results of the trail to date with input from Paula Pender and Des Thorpe. This trail will run over three years on the farm and is showing very interesting results for subsequent crop production and biodiversity levels.

August 22nd – Organic Dairy Production – Coleman Deely, Newcastle West, Co Limerick V42 F671

Coleman will cover how he got the farm ready for conversion to organic farming, grassland management, cow types for organics and how he is trying to improve his soil biology. Also Coleman will speak about his involvement with the Danú Farming Group

If you would like to attend any of the events please pre-book by emailing tricia@irishoa.ie or contacting the office in Athlone by ringing 090 6433680.
