Here’s a sneak peak at one of our latest stories. A new survey has revealed that farmers are taking an increasingly measured approach to their grassland and manure management, helping to cut costs and improve efficiencies. The survey carried out by the organisers of the Grassland & Muck Event – the third such survey since 2011 – has revealed that more farmers are analysing inputs and outputs, enabling them to better target management decisions. “It’s wonderful to have been able to gather this information over several years, giving a really strong snapshot of the direction in which the industry is moving,” says event organiser Alice Bell. “Although we sadly had to cancel this year’s event due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we thought it was important to publish the results of the survey so that farmers and their advisers can identify trends and opportunities for greater efficiencies.” Based on 224 responses from around the UK, more people are testing their soil, and they are testing it more regularly, with 68% testing it every five years or less versus 62% in 2017 and 57% in 2011.
