Past Event

Monday, 25 January 2021

7:00pm - 8:00pm


Join us for the latest webinar in our Monitor Farm Mondays series, where we will be discussing rotation planning.

Speakers: Richard Ling (Diss Monitor Farm) and Marion Self (Agronomist, PrimeAg)
Host: Teresa Meadows

Rotation planning is becoming increasingly difficult for some. With multiple factors to consider such as profitability versus sustainability, the value in using break crops, incorporating IPM and environmental features, and managing risk, it is a tough balancing act.

For this webinar, Richard Ling from Diss Monitor Farm will be joined by Marion Self to discuss the following aspects of rotation planning:

  • The use of net margins and costs to influence rotation planning
  • Break crops, spring cropping and available markets
  • The influence of black-grass, soil type, soil health and carbon on rotation planning
  • Rotation choice and the subsequent impacts on staff, machinery and accessing future policy options
  • Attitude to risk and the art of being flexible

This webinar will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A session and is free to attend, but please register using the 'Book Now' button.
