Description
Join Al & Juddy as they delve into one of the fundamental aspects of a calendar year, wintering systems. They unpack how to select the ideal wintering system, taking into account the factors of your resource base such as how much land for the number of animals you have. They discuss the various characteristics of different cultivars and rotations, offering insight into optimising the area you farm on, with a particular focus on the dairy system. "Winter is challenging, but it doesn’t mean to say that we need to change the system completely. I think by looking at best practices and being sensible about them, we can navigate our way through those challenges" – Glenn Judson
