AHDB Beef & Lamb: Planning next year's grazing strategy
Episode 378, Dec 05, 2022, 07:00 AM
In this episode of the Food & Farming podcast, we are looking ahead and planning for 2023 with a focus on grazing, using herbal leys and the benefits of outwintering on fodder beet. Our grass specialist Katie Evans speaks to New Zealand fodder beet expert Dr Jim Gibbs and UK expert Marc Jones (KWS) about how to successfully outwinter stock on fodder beet to maximise performance and reduce costs.
We hear about how the crop can fit into your farm system and be utilised with herbal and grass leys. Getting the most out of your grazing can help prepare you for extreme weather events, have a positive environmental impact and has been proven to reduce production costs.
