This practical workshop will help you to get an understanding of the role nutrients play in crop and silage production on your farm.

We'll help you run through some examples so that you can leave with a better understanding of how you can nutrient budget for your farm for the year ahead.

We'll also look into the role of soil analysis and how to interpret the results. We'll see the value that slurry and farmyard manure have in terms of reducing bought in fertilisers, while also taking a look at the fundamentals of Integrated Pest Management.

Come along to the boardroom at Caledonian Marts on the 25th of November from 10:30 to 2:30.

Booking is essential for catering purposes.
