The Grassland Agro soil sustainability programme equips each participant with a detailed field specific fertiliser programme, which targets the right product, in the right place at the right rate and the right time. One of the key benefits of the programme is that each farmer is supported throughout the year with regular on-farm visits. This is done in conjunction with the farmer so that practical considerations like soil type, ground conditions and the distance from slurry tanks can be factored into the soil health programme.
The Soil Sustainability Programme is a free service available to dairy, beef, sheep and tillage farmers. Further research will be ongoing throughout the programme as a function of an exciting research project between Grassland Agro, Teagasc and UCC. Get in contact with your local Grassland Agro agronomist or email soil.health@grassland.ie to get involved in the programme.
