The National Grain Chairman also discussed amendments to the shallow stubble cultivation rules with officials in the Nitrates Division of DAFM this week.

The amendment now exempts the need for shallow cultivation in the following cases:

  • Where the farmer is certified organic
  • Where root crops or late harvested crops have been harvested (crops typically not harvested before late September)
  • Where a cereal crop or beans has been harvested after 15th September or where a cereal crop has been undersown with another crop
  • Where a winter cereal crop, oilseed rape or beans is due to be sown on the land by 31 October
