Grassland Event will spearhead show year

After the dearth of farm events last year, how good to look forward to a full calendar of shows.

One of the most keenly anticipated is the Grassland Event held once every three years at Stoneleigh, Warwicks.

Some aspects of the display, to be staged on May 22 and 23, will be familiar. About 170 acres of grass that will be mown, tedded, chopped, clamped, baled and wrapped.

There will be innovations too. Watch out for maize, fodder beet, kale, lucerne, sainfoin, clover and whole-crop plots and seminars on key topics.

If your farming business has anything to do with livestock or grass, why not make it your business to attend?
