Multi-species leys can help you reduce fertiliser costs, improve soil quality and drought tolerance when incorporated into your grassland system.

Join us and FWAG SW to find more about how diverse swards can allow you to graze for longer, reduce the need for supplementary feeding and improve animal health.

At this workshop you will also:

  • See trial farm plots of multi species leys
  • Find out about ensiling herbal leys
  • Hear about stewardship options & funding support
