Reseeding & Oversowing Strategies Dairy Insight

For high performing UK dairy farms, grazed grass remains the cheapest home grown feed available and one of the biggest opportunities to improve margin over purchased feed. However, maximising grass performance today is no longer just about yield alone. Increasingly, progressive dairy businesses are balancing productivity with soil resilience, nutrient efficiency and regenerative farming principles.

In this Dairy Insight we explore the different strategies for rejuvenating pasture and the key considerations for achieving successful establishment, to improve productivity, resilience, and long-term farm performance.
