Barenbrug to Launch Guide on Grassland Resilience Following Drought Damage
What happened
Grass seed breeder Barenbrug is launching its 2027 Barforage Product Guide at AgriScot on November 18 to help farmers repair drought-damaged pastures and improve grassland resilience. Matt Clark, Barenbrug account manager, stated that the hot, dry summer severely damaged grass swards across the UK. The company expects an increase in grassland re-seeding and rejuvenation this autumn and in the spring.
Why it matters
The severe drought has necessitated widespread efforts to rebuild and increase the drought tolerance of grazing and silage platforms across the UK and Ireland. Barenbrug's guide provides specific agricultural varieties and seed mixtures to support these repair efforts.
