Pwllheli: How to build a more resilient grazing operation

Join us and grazing consultant Andre Van Barneveld for a practical on-farm meeting about how making small changes to your business will prepare your grazing system for the future.

The last few years have seen extreme weather conditions across the UK. From drought during the summer months, followed by heavy rainfall in the spring. As the weather becomes more volatile, remaining resilient is more important than ever when we cannot predict what the future may hold.

This event will cover

• How to choose species which can withstand weather extremes
• When to apply fertiliser
• Rotation length and how to promote root development
• Building soil conditions that improve water infiltration yet retain moisture
• Mid-season management 
• How to maximise production from grazed pasture with minimal purchased feed
• Summer crop options
