Profitable Management of Clover Leys - Workshop - Staffordshire Venue
Save costs and improve animal performance with better clover management
Monday 13 June, 10am – 4pm
Back o'Th Brook Farm, Waterfall ST10 3JA, Staffordshire, hosted by Clive Langford-Mycock
The workshops is for conventional and organic farmers and is open to those with many years of experience of clover as well as those new to the crop.
The workshop will be run by three of the UK’s leading specialists in clover management: Dr Heather McCalman (IBERS), Francis Dunne (Field Options) and Mark Measures (adviser, researcher and farmer) and will be held on farms growing clover leys, with an opportunity to discuss the management, grazing and conserving of clover.
Clover can supply 200 kg Nitrogen per hectare, reduce or eliminate nitrogen fertilizer use, improve stock performance from higher protein and palatability, provide fertility for following crops and reduce green house gas emissions.
This farm based workshop will draw on 30 years’ commercial experience and the latest research in legume management to help you get the most from clover. The workshop will:
- Help you decide on the best grass and clover seed mixtures for your farm
- Provide the latest on white clover, red clover, lucerne and trefoil
- Provide information on establishment, nutrient requirements, conservation and grazing
- Show how you can save costs and reduce your carbon footprint
