Join leading researchers and a working farmer to find out: Can red and white clover really reduce nitrogen AND improve performance?
Clover has been proven to save €170/ha on beef farms at last year’s fertiliser prices – but only if it’s done right. See what’s actually working in research and on a Roscommon beef farm.
