For Suffolk farmer Mike Morley, bringing cattle back onto the farm and introducing herbal leys is helping tackle a persistent black-grass problem — while creating a new income stream.

Working with our partner Anglia Quality Meat (AQM) and our Agriculture Account Manager Emily Abrey, Mike has developed a system that combines livestock, herbal leys and data-driven management.

The result?
🌱 A productive 10ha herbal ley
🐄 High-quality grazing and haylage
🌱 Benefits for soil health and drainage
💷 An additional income stream

Could livestock and herbal leys be part of the answer to black-grass on your farm?

Our ongoing trials at Lahinch Golf Club provide valuable insight and illustrate the importance of testing grasses in real world conditions.

Fresh from hosting The Walker Cup , Lahinch is a fantastic example of how our research and trials connect directly with the demands of maintaining high quality playing surfaces. We expect the trials to add some real insight into turf disease tolerance of fine fescues and bentgrasses.

A big well done to Team GB&I and everyone involved in what was an outstanding tournament!

🚜 Drilling grass in Somerset! 🌱

A new grass ley is going in the ground in Somerset, with the aim of establishing a productive, resilient sward for the seasons ahead.

With dry conditions putting pressure on grass growth and forcing some livestock farmers to dip into winter forage stocks, protecting existing swards is more important than ever.

But what should you do when the rain finally arrives?

Barenbrug Account Manager James White shares his advice on:
🌱 Protecting drought-stressed swards
🐄 When to return livestock to recovering fields
🌱 When reseeding or overseeding could be the best option
🌾 Choosing the right mixture for recovery and future productivity

Don’t be tempted to graze or reseed too soon. Giving swards time to recover could make all the difference to productivity later in the season.

🌱 Can better grass breeding help farmers build resilience in a changing climate?

In the latest Meet the Network interview from Agri-TechE, Belinda Clarke speaks with David Linton, our Commercial Agriculture Manager, about the future of grassland management, sustainable farming and the increasingly important role of grass breeding.

David explores why “grass is not just grass”, and how modern breeding is developing varieties with traits such as deeper rooting and improved drought tolerance to help farmers:
🌱 Improve forage production
🌱 Build soil health and resilience
🌱 Use nutrients more efficiently
🌱 Adapt to increasingly unpredictable weather
🌱 Support carbon sequestration and sustainable production

The conversation also looks at diverse grass mixtures, the impact of the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), and our new UK breeding centre in Knutsford, where varieties are being developed specifically for British farming conditions.

With the challenges of both drought and flooding increasing, innovation in grass breeding has an important role to play in building more resilient farming systems.

🎥 Watch the full interview to hear David discuss the future of grassland and how looking below ground could help farmers grow more.
