Project brings beef into long-term arable land

摘要

An AHDB project investigating the benefits of sustainable beef systems across arable land - hosted by Dyson Farming - has seen significant improvements to soil condition, cereal yield, worm counts, and even net margin.For arable farmers, the establishment of grass leys associated with beef herds provides an opportunity to extend their rotation, while also diversifying income streams.This prompted Peter Lord, farm manager at Norwood Farm, near Bath, to team up with the AHDB and Adas to convert the 290ha long-term arable farm into an integrated mixed farming enterprise.
