Join Soils for Life at Thistlebank Grazing for a practical day in the paddock, exploring how smarter grazing management can improve soil health, build farm resilience and create new opportunities for your business.
The focus for the day is on practical, paddock-based learning, farmer observations and decision-making tools that can be applied directly on your farm.
What you’ll take away
- A practical introduction to the Grazing for Soil and Landscape Regeneration Practice Guide and how to use it on farm
- On the ground insights from Ben Simpson about the grazing practices he has implemented at Thistlebank and the benefits he’s seen
- Practical grazing management principles from RCS’s David McLean and how to apply them in your own context
- An inside look at how improved grazing and soil health at Thistlebank has created an opportunity for a soil carbon project, and how Ben’s started implementing land management in the first year.
- Hands-on, paddock-based learning and practical skills sessions
