Grassland Roadshow Aberdeen: Power Up Your Pasture – Grass, Soil & Shelter

Book event

Looking to get more from your grassland? Join us for a practical farmer-focused meeting exploring how to boost grass productivity.

We’ll look at:

Grass productivity – assessing existing swards and identifying opportunities to improve performance

Soil & grass condition – spotting problems and discussing practical remedial action

Reseeding – choosing the right grass species for different fields and situations

Tree shelter belts – exploring how trees can provide valuable shelter for livestock in both summer and winter, while bringing wider benefits to the farm

Come along for practical ideas and useful discussion that could help make the most of your grassland.
