Barenbrug to Guide Grassland Resilience Efforts in UK and Ireland
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Barenbrug is preparing to launch its 2027 Barforage Product Guide at AgriScot on November 18, which offers advice on selecting grass and non-grass species for forage production systems across the UK and Ireland. Matt Clark, Barenbrug account manager, noted that the hot, dry summer severely damaged grassland throughout the UK. The company has reported an increase in grassland being reseeded or rejuvenated this autumn, with similar activity anticipated in spring.
Why it matters
The drought has necessitated widespread efforts to repair damaged agricultural land, driving increased demand for specific grass varieties and seed mixtures. Barenbrug's guide aims to help farmers build greater drought tolerance into their grazing and silage platforms.
