Multi-species sward and red clover measures open for 2024
Red clover, due to its nitrogen-fixing ability, produces fodder higher in protein than conventional silage and will assist farmers in reducing their concentrate feed bills.
The 2024 Multi-Species Sward and Red Clover Silage Measures have opened for applications.
According to the Department of Agriculture, research work carried out on multi-species swards has shown an ability to produce higher dry matter yields from lower nitrogen fertiliser inputs.
