The grassland at the heart of the crop rotation

Temporary grassland lies at the heart of the mixed cropping and livestock farming system, ensuring the farm’s self-sufficiency and diversification. It contributes to soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, helps reduce erosion and aids in weed management. Suitable for a variety of soil conditions and farming practices, it can consist of grasses, legumes and complementary plants such as white clover, cocksfoot or tall fescue. It plays a key role in crop rotation: improving soil structure, adding organic matter, and providing value through grazing or mowing.
