Cut your nitrogen bill with red and white clover
An upcoming webinar from the Teagasc Future Beef team will examine ways farmers can cut their fertiliser bills by using white and red clover in their grazing and silage swards.
The webinar, taking place on April 14, 2026, at 8pm, will feature guests who’ll discuss the potential for fertiliser savings and improved rates of animal performance, along with key advice on establishment and management to maximise output and improve persistency.

- Animal performance: Grass-clover versus grass-only
- How to establish red and white clover successfully
- Practical tips to manage grass-clover swards
- Common mistakes costing yield and persistence
