Final reminder of tonight's webinar (8pm) by @DiscoverCAFRE & @AFBI_NI on managing your way through dry weather conditions. Although the rain has returned there is a significant shortfall and grass will take a number of weeks to recover – so ongoing action will be required.
❗DON'T FORGET❗
TONIGHT at 8pm, CAFRE is hosting a webinar to help you manage your farm through the current period of dry weather & plan for the longer term impact this will have on winter feeding & fodder supplies.
