Strong roots in grass

Beef farmer, Tom Diplock of Sussex, chats with LG about owning his own beef farm, working on his parents' mixed farm and managing his own contracting business.

With all of these demands on his time, it's critical to choose a grass mixture that delivers the desired results - healthier cows, impressive yields, optimum protein and dry matter (DM) content and improved daily liveweight gains in the cattle, are just some of Tom's goals.

Tom explains which grass mixture he is using for the job, why he chose it, and what benefits he's seen, as well as how he manages and uses it on his farm enterprises to improve beef production.

Brian Rowley, mixed arable and dairy farmer based in South Derbyshire chats with Limagrain UK's forage product manager, John Spence about the importance of forage quality for his dairy herd.
