New seeding recipe will dramatically boost grasslands

Statisticians have cracked a code for a bumper crop by feeding cattle with a new seeding recipe that will dramatically boost grasslands.

As well as being a more holistic approach to rearing beef and dairy livestock, the recipe could drastically cut the amount of fertiliser going into soils and save farmers a pretty penny.

Agriculture is the biggest contributor to carbon pollution in Ireland, so the varied planting and diet will help achieve a 40% cut in emissions by 2030.
