Could updating your waste management system improve the overall efficiency and profitability of your dairy operation? Join us at Knott Oak Dairy, near Ilminster on 31st March for a day exploring the use of anaerobic digestion to manage slurry, manure and methane. This will be a valuable event for farmers to come along and find out more from the AD companies and experts.

We had a fantastic day yesterday at Norton Court Farm with Debbie Wilkins for her @ClimateFarmDemo demo event! We learned about her research with @RoyalAgUni investigating the potential of a slurry free dairy farm, seeing how she is creating Bokashi with her farmyard waste to help reduce overall emissions from the slurry and boost her soil health.

Herbal leys are an attractive option for improving pasture quality and reducing inputs--plus the new SFI option also allows for overseeding them. But what is the best way to achieve this? Join us for this free #FarmNetZero event and find out! farmcarbontoolkit.org.uk/eve… #herballey

Current thoughts @PotatoDaysUK The potato industry needs to understand the difference between: Degenerative ↓ Sustainable ↓ Regenerative It’s not just about the principles it’s about the whole picture. CE opportunity! ♻️ @Demos @McCainUKIE @Branston

Arable farmers/mixed farmers growing herbal leys/cover crops or grass leys as a break and grazing cattle as part of their rotation. Anyone willing for a chat on systems, costings, cash crop yield reductions etc… appreciated greatly for part of my @NuffieldFarming study. 🙏

Farm walks are a fantastic opportunity to hear and see how farm businesses have approached different soil management practices and to gather ideas for your own farm business. With a thriving market garden business, a dairy farm which has incorporated agroforestry and a diverse mixed system with livestock fully integrated with arable enterprises, there will be a huge amount to learn from the 2024 Soil Farmer of the Year line-up of farm walk events. Check out the dates, locations and further details of all the farm walks and how to book here 👉 i4agri.org/events #SoilFarmerOfTheYear #FarmWalk @FarmCO2Toolkit @Hutchinsons_Ag @CotswoldSeeds
