Lower inputs, maintain yield: Multispecies swards in dairy systems

Hear from Tim Morrow about how he has slashed his fertiliser bill whilst seeing improvements to his milk yields and quality.
About this Event

This event is aimed at farmers and growers, and is kindly sponsored by Danske Bank.

Tim is most of the way through a 10-year plan of converting his entire acreage into multispecies swards, increasing his savings on fertiliser every year.

Tim has found the variety of the swards also improves milk quality. Focusing on soil health in a majority grass-fed system, Tim aims to maximise profits whilst building long-term resilience in his farming system.

On the farm, they have also implemented water protection efforts by installing large-scale reedbeds to treat dirty water from the yard and milking parlours and these areas now see an array of wildlife and native willow trees.

Join us for a walk around Streamvale Farm to see Tim's nature-friendly approaches in practice.

Lunch will be provided.
