SUMMARY:Ask the Farmer Q&A 'Silvopasture - adding trees into a tillage system' with Jack Browne
DESCRIPTION:Jack is a 3rd generation farmer in Co. Carlow. He is a young tillage farmer who has incorporated agroforestry and permaculture design into his near 40 hectare (100 ac) farm. Around 3 hectares (7 ac) is under Native Woodland. He is certified organic\, selling oats to Tirlán\, aswell as producing hay and silage. Having taken on the farm in 2020\, he participated in an EIP project with Trees On The Land to become a demonstration site for silvoarable systems\, incorporating 3000 trees into his tillage system. His focus is on growing food crops rather than feed crops\, and has created a ‘low input\, premium output’ system by planting fruit and nut trees on his farm. Previously being a monocrop farm\, he has sown 12 hectares (30 ac) of multispecies swards to build fertility which he says has ‘lead to an explosion of biodiversity on the farm\, the amount of bird life that came back was unbelievable” Building on the trees he has already planted\, he is experimenting with min till methods which is a part of ACRES and hoping to expand the amount of land under agroforestry into the future. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an online Q&A to learn more about silvopasture and you can put any questions you have to Jack
