Solohead has garnered huge farmer interest in recent years. Implementing a zero nitrogen input strategy on grass-clover swards, Teagasc researchers have shown that the carbon and ammonia footprints of milk production can be lowered substantially. bit.ly/3LiwtyC

It's just not a good year for growth. But our clover is keeping pace with the fields that are getting normal N levels

Clover is starting to get going. It's been a long wait but we have gotten 5 grazing off this reseed from last year. A mix of red and white clover. The mix is the @SoloheadFarm1 grazing mix

On the Solohead Research Farm in Ireland, @teagasc Livestock Systems are testing systems of pasture-based dairy production🐄 with minimal external inputs, and as much internal circularity ♻️as possible.

I visited Solohead a couple of years ago and met with principal research officer Dr James Humphreys. A must visit for anyone (organic or otherwise) interested in growing grass with less, or no artificial fertiliser! @teagasc @TeagascOrganics

Covers increased by 100kg/ha in the last 9 days. The farm has a healthy green appearance; growth is kicking off. We normally get a flush of N mineralisation after frosty weather. N from slurry spread last week is kicking in. We plan to spread no fertiliser N on the farm this year

At Solohead Research Farm, we have been investigating the potential for lowering the carbon footprint of pasture-based milk production by implementing best practices. A key focus has been using clover to replace artificial fertiliser nitrogen (N). More at bit.ly/3Sm6niu
