Get More From Your Farm: Soils and Forage

Join us for a practical on-farm event at Broomhill Farm, by kind permission of Iain and Sarah Livesey, where you will discover proven techniques that help reduce costs, improve productivity and make farming more efficient.

This is a hands-on opportunity to hear from industry experts and experienced farmers and see practical solutions that could make a real difference to your business.

What you’ll learn
• Make your fertiliser count
Learn how soil nutrients interact and how choosing the right fertiliser and liming products can improve nutrient content, reduce the need for inputs and maximise the value of nutrients already on your farm.
• Protect your soils and safeguard yields
Poor soil structure and compaction can limit drainage, restrict root growth and reduce crop and grass performance. Find out how to identify compaction correctly, avoid expensive mistakes and prevent problems before they occur.
• Explore different forage options
Explore practical forage systems including bale grazing, forage crops and herbal leys. Helping to make the most of your farm resources as well as how some of these options can help you comply with EFA greening requirements.

Why attend?
By adopting even a few of the ideas shared during the day, you could:
• Reduce fertiliser and input costs.
• Improve grass and crop performance through healthier soils.
• Prevent costly soil damage and protect future yields.
• Reduce winter feeding, housing and manure handling costs.
• Save time, fuel and labour through more efficient farming practices.
• Take away practical ideas you can implement on your own farm.

Whether you are looking to improve profitability, increase efficiency or simply pick up practical tips from experts and fellow farmers, this event will provide valuable insights you can put into practice straight away.
We look forward to welcoming you to Broomhill Farm for an informative and practical day.
