Argyll Soil & Nutrient Network – “Making the Best Use of Your Grass and Forage Crops”

The third and final meeting of the Argyll Soil & Nutrient Network will be held on our host farm, Dunadd, near Lochgilphead.

The final meeting of our Mid Argyll soil and nutrient network will look at the work being carried out at Kirkton Hill & Mountain Research Centre, and how this can be applied on your farm.  John Holland and Ewan Campbell will discuss the research carried out on the farm, alongside the practicalities, what works, what doesn’t, and look at how they are getting the best from their grass and forage crops.

Charles Murray of Clyde Seeds will give an overview of seed mixtures which are productive and sustainable under West Coast conditions, what to look for in a mixture, and what works.
