Grassland Agro are continued proud sponsors of the Teagasc Grass10.
Since 2017 the Grass10 campaign aims to promote sustainable grassland excellence on Irish livestock farms.
The primary objective of the Grass10 Campaign was to utilise 10 tonnes of grass DM/ha/year using 10 grazings per paddock on grassland farms in Ireland. As well as working closely with all partners and Teagasc advisory programme, the Grass10 programme worked closely with the Grassland Science Department in Teagasc.
The continued adoption of best grazing management practices at farm level will be critical in increasing the future sustainability of grassland farming in confronting future challenges with regards to climate change, ammonia emissions and water quality. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency on grassland farms will be a major objective.
The winners of the Grassland Farmers of the Year were announced at an awards ceremony on Thursday 14th April 2022 in Teagasc Moorepark.
