摘要

Soil health is rarely out of the headlines and it is now back on the agenda as one of the'public goods', which the Government suggests it will pay for with 'public money'.The role that soil health plays in the productivity of grassland sheep farm systems is far less obvious than it is in arable systems -not least because it is rarely visible. But it can have a significant effect on productivity and profitability, particularly in extreme weather conditions.
