Want to network and learn new ideas to improve your yields? Join other farmers and researchers through one of our grassland farming networks.
Grass Yield Enhancement Network
The Grass Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) is an independent network, open to anyone who wants to enhance their grass and forage yields. Learn more in our video
If you would like to get involved, please visit the Grass YEN webpage.
The Grass and Herbal Leys Farm Network
The Grass & Herbal Leys Farm Network was set up in 2018 to investigate the long-term impacts of leys in the rotation. There are now over 200 members of the network including farmers, researchers and other industry representatives
The network has identified a need for more information on the benefits of temporary leys on soil quality, weed control and practical information on rotation management. Around 90% of farmers in the network said improvements in soil quality were an important factor in their use of grass/herbal leys and half said the leys helped them control black-grass. Over the next few years, network members will work together to address these knowledge gaps.
The network is free to join and is open to any interested individuals or organisations. For more information about the network and how to join, please visit the ADAS website.
