How undersowing aids soils and adds grazing income

摘要

Undersowing maize with companion grass mixes as winter grazing for sheep is returning a profit for a Welsh livestock farm, while also protecting soils.Mathew Van Dijk undersowed 5ha (12 acres) of maize at Arnold's Hill Farm, near Haverfordwest, as part of a Farming Connect focusfarm project to weigh up the economic and environmental benefits of this approach.The figures from that trial have now been published and show the system to be a profitable one.
