GREATsoils events

GREATsoils is designed to help farmers understand their soils, identify priorities and take practical action. Through a new series of webinars, events and practical resources, farmers can identify what they want their soil to deliver and take steps to improve productivity, efficiency and resilience.

Farmers are welcome to attend events across all sectors.

Check the event description or contact the event host for more information about the topics being covered.  

Discover how slurry and soil testing can help you make informed nutrient decisions, reduce reliance on bought-in fertiliser and build healthier, more resilient soils.

We'll explore:

• How slurry testing can provide more specific nutrient information than average RB209 values
• Why slurry values vary between farms and what that means for nutrient planning
• How soil condition and soil indices affect nutrient use efficiency
• How sustainable soil management practices and improved nutrient use can maximise forage production
• How leading farmers are using soil and slurry information to improve decision-making

• 22 October – Llandysul, Ceredigion
• 28 October – Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire
• 5 November – Bude, Devon
• 1 December – Steyning, West Sussex
• TBC - Cheshire

The GREATsoils webinars are part of a year-round programme designed to help farmers understand, measure and improve soil performance.

The programme follows four key stages:

• Inspire (autumn): What do I want my soil to deliver?
• Measure (winter): Where am I now?
• Decide and act (spring): What changes should I make?
• Review (summer): What should I do next?
