Today we’re out with the MF 6290 and Samasz mulcher tackling one of the most common problems on wet Irish farmland — rushes.

If you farm in Ireland or the UK, you’ll know exactly what they are like. Once they take hold in a field, they spread fast, reduce grazing quality, and can be a real headache to deal with.

We’re putting the mulcher to work in some heavy, rushy ground to see how well it handles them and how the field looks after a pass. Is mulching a good short-term fix for rushes, or just a case of keeping them knocked back?

This is all part of ongoing farm management here at Stewart Family Farm, where we’re constantly working on improving grazing and ground quality across different fields.
