Another opportunity to listen back to a recent webinar at your leisure. Herbal leys are an increasingly popular option for livestock farmers. This episode discusses establishing and managing herbal leys for livestock production with Monty White, Agricultural Project Manager for DLF Seeds. We will explore different establishment options including min-till methods and then correct management to help the swards establish. Seed mix choices will also be covered with the emphasis on selecting the right varieties for different situations. Herbal leys also offer potential benefits to biodiversity both above and below ground, making them a useful choice for a host of reasons. Non Williams will outline a new Pan Wales project in Farming Connect looking at herbal leys and investigating the performance and persistency of the herbal ley swards across Wales.
