🌱 British Grassland Society Summer Meeting! 🌱 This week, our Technical Sales Agronomist for South-West England, James White, enjoyed attending the British Grassland Society Summer Meeting across 3 days. James visited 6 farms and attended their tours at: - Folly Farm - North Farm Horton - Hemsworth Farm - Launceston Farm - Marshalls Farm - Linch Farm Quite a jam-packed few days, but James very much enjoyed it as it provided a unique opportunity to explore different systems of grassland management, gaining valuable insights and tips to apply to farm businesses. 🚜 The BGS Annual Dinner also took place, offering a chance to meet up with other grassland enthusiasts to discuss the farm tours and all things grass and forage. Insightful talks were given at the farms, discussing various aspects of grass and forage. We look forward to the next one! #BritishGrasslandSocietySummerMeeting #BGS #GrasslandManagement #SustainableFarming #OrganicFarming #Agriculture #GrowYourFutureWithGrass #UKGrassExperts #RootedInTheUK #UKGrassBreeders⁠

🌱 The 3 Leaf Theory 🌱 Did you know? A ryegrass ley is made up of many ryegrass plants, which are in turn composed of tillers. Each tiller consists of a basal stem and can support up to 3 growing leaves. 🌱 The 3 Leaf Theory explains that a ryegrass tiller will only support 3 live leaves at a time. Understanding this can help you optimise the health and growth of your ryegrass! 📹 Check out our video to learn more about the 3 Leaf Theory and how it can benefit you https://lnkd.in/e3abv8AJ #3LeafTheory #RyegrassLey #RyegrassPlants #Tillers #PlantScience #Agriculture #GrowYourFutureWithGrass #UKGrassExperts #RootedInTheUK #UKGrassBreeders
