Shropshire: Healthy Soils, Healthy Swards

Join us for this on-farm event running with Park Issa Vets focusing on how you can manage your soils and swards so they deliver maximum output, whether that’s for grazed grass or silage, with the expertise of independent consultant George Fisher. If you would like to have more confidence around how to manage your soils to make the most of grass, then this meeting is for you.
