Grassland Insights: From Soil to Sward webinar series

Webinars offering farmers research-led guidance to boost grassland performance and efficiency

Farmers looking to get more from their grassland this spring can benefit from a new webinar series offering timely, research-led advice on improving grass utilisation, boosting fertiliser efficiency and supporting animal performance.

This free three-part series from the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) will bring together industry specialists, advisers and farmers to focus on improving grassland performance and farm profitability.
