“Soil pH is one of the few things that can be easily rectified on farm. The lime we use is locally produced, locally sourced and very affordable given current high input costs,” said tillage farmer Tom Shine.
Tom runs a tillage enterprise alongside his wife, Tracey, his father, John, and his two sons John Jr. and Liam, near Cahir, Co. Tipperary. The Shine family grow a number of crops which are manufactured into coarse rations and sold to local livestock farmers.
