## Resource

We have a busy show this week. We caught up with John Dunne on his farm in East Cork where he manages the Goldcrop trial site and tells us about what’s up and coming in the company’s varieties. Conor Kehoe caught up with Down farmer Neill Patterson at Arable NI 2026 and we hear from Syngenta at last week’s Cereals event on a new fungicide. As always, we look at the paper, have the latest news from grass weeds to new genomic techniques and have the grain trends and weather reports. The Tillage Podcast is supported by Bayer Crop Science. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
