Oliver Moore: Nitrogen holds key to good growth

Richard Hackett spoke at the IOFGA conference and AGM recently. Oliver Moore talked to him about spring growth in organic farming.

How can organic farmers generate good spring growth without mineral fertilisers?

For livestock, planning is key. If there are sheep on the farm, they will eat anything that’s there, and if cattle are coming out of sheds, if grass is not managed correctly, all grass will be gone.
