How do you consistently and successfully grow clover in West of Scotland?

 Ardyne Organic Farms Ltd produce both arable silage and clover silage to feed to their livestock to ensure top class organic meat which can be used in their London organic restaurant.

We will be hearing from Ralph Bova, their independent agronomist and Michael Mulgrew, DLF Seeds how they have used grass clover sward, making full use of nutrients on the farm whilst maintaining profitability to ensure the quality of the silage required for the livestock on farm.

Establishing clover in the sward takes time and some specific management. This on farm field trip will give you the opportunity to share the challenges you have faced and learn from others.

During the day we will discuss

  • Establishing a clover sward
  • Maintenance of clover
  • Goal setting to achieve good clover content across the farm

This meeting will be hosted in conjunction with NFUS.

 Booking for this event is vital. To register your interest, please email Doreen.Anderson@ahdb.org.uk or call Doreen on 07901 116 454
