Bere Barley volunteers in a crop of winter barley incredibly advanced!! Safe to say if this was a field it would be a remarkable early harvest and could serve to close the hunger gap of old? Brown Envelope Seeds Aengus Ó Fionnagáin Irish Seed Savers Pete Iannetta

That time of year, sowing spuds!! #spuds #selfsufficiency #vintage

One of life's simple pleasures, running ones hand through a field of barley #barley #fieldofgold #farmlife

'Winter Bere' what is this compared to Bere grown today in Scotland?

Aran Island Rye volunteers standing tall above winter barley. It seems happy as a winter crop also. Might have to try it next year #aranislandrye #landrace #heritage #rye Canvasbrewery

Intercrop of beans & wheat was all a buzz today with both honey bees and bumblebees. The wheat will get a constant supply of biologically fixed nitrogen from the beans, hopefully making milling quality #intercrop #beans #wheat #bread #farmingfornature #baseireland

Wet & Windy May Fills the barn with Barley & Hay Heavy rain & wind is a challenge for tall straw crops, particularly if too much nutrients are available. Marris Otter here has some damage, while some of the tall straw wheat also under pressure. #marrisotter #barley #malting

Plenty of diversity amongst the organic heritage wheat Brookfield Farm. Was this what fields looked like when these grains were grown? Bumblebee was happy with the poppies anyway! #galwaylandwheat #heritagewheat Farming For Nature Canvasbrewery Real Bread Ire Team

When your taking chances you need people to give you a chance. Very grateful for Koko Kinsale for taking a chance on these #hazelnuts. This is a big day

open.spotify.com/episode/4xYRSE… every so often the Irish Farmers Journal can surprise you. Interesting step back to look at the history of farming and some of its possible futures Maurice Deasy UCD Earth Institute

It's incredible to think that grain is imported at harvest time into Ireland, that is what we face as a sector yearly now , no priority given to native produced grains in the market place-it's belittling and demoralizing and intolerable-where's the support from our Ag Industry?

Summer Cover Crop going in after winter barley and before another winter crop 🤞 This is the first time we have tried one and the #waterEIP is the financial encouragement to adopt the regenerative practice and follow the Base Ireland lead #farmingfornature
