Hi all.
New to this forum and the world of smallholding. But i was after some advice to best types of crop that could be grown in the west of Ireland?
Im in the process of buying an 11 acre holding and they keep plenty of chickens,turkey and sheep but i would like to plant some crop to cut down on food bills and planning on a few pigs,so fodder would be a must.
Thanks in advance and may i say, This site is a little gem :)
