We have made the decision to postpone this event due to the new lockdown rules surrounding non-essential travel. Whilst we’re sorry that this is not able to go ahead, we will be planning the next meet with renewed vigour for spring/summer! 🤞🏼

Last week we visited the Stephens family near Crediton. It was excellent to hear of high organic matter content in their well-managed permanent grass fields, and to see clover being incorporated successfully by feeding seed to grazing livestock. Thanks to Yara UK for sponsoring
