In this episode, we are talking to Peter Scott technical director from Origin Fertilisers and Ben Lowe national forage manager from Agrii. What can farmers do to balance their input costs with improving their grassland performance? What does that mean for the livestock enterprise? And how can we rethink grassland fertiliser as animal feed?
