Advice for beef farmers: Grow more to increase acreage

Can your farm produce more grass in 2016 than it did in 2015?

For the vast majority of beef farmers, the answer to this question is most definitely yes, and it has nothing to do with the weather.

Results from the National Farm Survey show that the average suckler beef farmer utilises just 5.5 tonnes of grass dry matter each year, when there is the potential on many beef farms to grow and use almost double this figure.
