Details
The Soil Armour Field Day is sharing learnings from AgResearch’s project that’s investigating whether a pasture-based alternative, supplemented with hay or baleage, will reduce nitrate leaching and paddock pugging. Of particular interest is to share the learnings on farm and the challenges of implementing a bale graze system and managing feed budgets.
The Soil Armour research is funded by the Ministry for Primary Industries as a three year Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change project.
MPI’s On Farm Support team will also be on hand to catch up and assist with feed budgeting.
Speakers:
Chris Arbuckle, Specialist Adviser, On Farm Support
Dr Ross Monaghan, Principal Scientist, AgResearch
