Grassland Forums: Quality Matters
Maximising profit from grass is about more than machinery. The
grass management forums sponsored by Keenan and organised in
conjunction with the British Grassland Society, will provide you
with valuable information and advice on maximising livestock
performance from grazed grass and conserved forage.
For the first time, the forums will be supported by practical demonstrations using sown grass plots to help demonstrate how you can achieve higher returns from your grass.
The forums are free and open to all visitors, located in the static trade area.
