Could updating your waste management system improve the overall efficiency and profitability of your dairy operation?

Join us at Knott Oak Dairy, near Ilminster on 31st March for a day exploring the use of anaerobic digestion to manage slurry, manure and methane.

This will be a valuable event for farmers to come along and find out more from the AD companies and experts.

Visit the events page on the Innovation for Agriculture website to find out more and book.

We had a fantastic day yesterday at Norton Court Farm with Debbie Wilkins for her @ClimateFarmDemo demo event!

We learned about her research with @RoyalAgUni investigating the potential of a slurry free dairy farm, seeing how she is creating Bokashi with her farmyard waste to help reduce overall emissions from the slurry and boost her soil health.

Herbal leys are an attractive option for improving pasture quality and reducing inputs--plus the new SFI option also allows for overseeding them.
But what is the best way to achieve this?

@BoycefieldFarm Jesus wept

[Arran Redman @ArranRedman]

@JamesMelville Just Google ‘gate arrests’ or ‘doorstep arrests’ it’s actually quite common. Obviously quite ridiculous but don’t spin it out like he committed a crime within seconds of release. It’s for a crime prior to release date. A separate offence to the one they were serving.

Current thoughts @PotatoDaysUK

The potato industry needs to understand the difference between:

Degenerative
↓
Sustainable
↓
Regenerative

It’s not just about the principles it’s about the whole picture.

CE opportunity! ♻️

@Demos @McCainUKIE @Branston

[Laura Awdry @LauraAwdry]

Arable farmers/mixed farmers growing herbal leys/cover crops or grass leys as a break and grazing cattle as part of their rotation. Anyone willing for a chat on systems, costings, cash crop yield reductions etc… appreciated greatly for part of my @NuffieldFarming study. 🙏
