Long term planning for extreme weather

Our farmers and consultants discuss how they have adapted to cope with drought and flooding on their farms and the practical changes made to withstand these weather events. There was a series of short presentations followed by a panel discussion. The panel included: • Ian Baggs, dairy farmer and 2021 Nuffield Scholar • Liz Genever, Independent sheep and beef consultant • Will Howe, beef and arable farmer • Phil Bicknell, AHDB Market Intelligence director The webinar covered: • The use of forage crops and herbal leys • Breeding • Options for grassland and permanent pasture • Soil health For more information, see our weather and grassland resources. https://ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-library/weather https://ahdb.org.uk/knowledge-library/grass ABOUT AHDB AHDB is a statutory levy board, funded by farmers, growers and others in the supply chain.
