Description:

Phelim McDonald, Teagasc's tillage advisor in the Carlow–Wexford region, and Shay Phelan, Teagasc tillage specialist, are on this week’s Tillage Edge to talk about oilseed rape planting for 2026. 

 

Shay explains why oilseed rape offers a safer financial margin than cereals, thanks to its relatively stable price and consistent yield. 

 

Phelim discusses seeding rates and rotational positions for both conventional and Clearfield varieties.
