10th July 2020
Regardless of breed or location, all UK dairy farmers have one thing in common: the need to provide their animals with grass to eat, whether grazed or silaged. In dairy production, where margins are incredibly tight, high quality grass can be the key to profitability – so keeping a constant supply in front of livestock makes sound financial sense. Essential to the production of milk, grass is a cost effective form of feed that can be utilised all year round – in spring and summer by grazing livestock; and in winter as silage.
