Defining "production" is key to crafting a successful #GrassStrategy for your #farm. 🚜

How will you produce enough milk or meat, for example, to stay profitable? Consider livestock classes, input levels, labour availability, outwintering plans, or leveraging #SFIProgrammes.

Reflect on your current production-what would you change? With this clarity, you can choose grass seed mixtures that align with your goals.

At Barenbrug UK, our versatile seeds are designed to meet diverse needs. Your grass strategy, in a bag! 🌱
