THE MIXTURE TO PUT NEW LIFE AND VIGOUR INTO AGEING SWARDS

 

Grass is still a dairy farmers most cost effective feed in the North West of England, its flexible , you can Graze it in situ or Conserve it for later use. On a recent trip to Ireland I learnt that the more a dairy farm moves away from achieving yield from forage the more the margins are hit in a downward way.

Agscope ltd has over many years worked with Watson Seeds and Germinal Seeds to provide its clients with Quality grass seed mixtures and forage crops.

 

These are just a few examples of mixtures available,

Other forage crop options are Redstart and Swift ,(Hybrid Kale /Rape) these offer excellent forage dry matter through the winter months, they are great pioneer crops before grass reseeds and are a serious consideration in terms of reducing the need for bought in concentrates.
